The Presidency has informed former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai that he lacks the capacity to “unsettle” President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said Tinubu is not losing sleep over El-Rufai’s criticisms of his administration.
Bwala said this on Thursday in an interview with TVC News.
He said President Tinubu was not losing sleep over El-Rufai’s relentless criticism of his administration.
Asked if the Presidency was jittery about El-Rufai’s comments and the regrouping of opposition politicians, Bwala said Tinubu was not bothered about whatever the opposition was doing.

“Who is jittery? The political opponents have no direction. There is no organised political party in Nigeria other than the APC. Almost all opposition parties are trying to find their way.
“I don’t attack because I see that the position of Mr. President is that of reconciliation. In his 18 months in office, he has never reacted to anybody. He has never been seen being combative or aggressive against anybody,” he said.
According to him, El-Rufai only becomes a political heavyweight when he aligns with a “solid revolutionary” leader.
He added: “El-Rufai is still in APC. You treat him like a brother. I know his grandstanding. I know he is having some trouble finding a path.”
El-Rufai has been criticising the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Tinubu’s administration.
The former governor said APC has derailed from its founding values, stressing that there is no internal democracy within the party.
He accused APC organs of failing to meet in the last two years.
