Speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, Onanuga described the former governor’s grievances as resentment over being sidelined in Tinubu’s government.
“As a person, I think I will pity the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai. He feels hurt that he was not made a minister. It has been a long time since the ministers were appointed, and I think it is time for him to move on,” Onanuga stated.
Mocking El-Rufai’s reaction, the Presidential aide said, “You cannot continue being like a child as if someone stole your bread. He is showing the resentment of a man being left out of a moving train.”
Onanuga further stressed that while El-Rufai played a role in Tinubu’s election victory, his dissatisfaction with the government was personal and did not reflect reality.
“The President, in his birthday tribute to El-Rufai, acknowledged his contribution to the party womens air jordan 6 barely rose dh9696 100 release date. He actually helped a lot in installing the President. But his exclusion is the reason he is going about campaigning against Tinubu,” he added.
