According to a report from Premium Times, sources within the Presidency stated that El-Rufai has informed President Tinubu that he no longer considers his nomination for a ministerial position. He assured Tinubu that he will continue to contribute to national development as a private citizen. The report suggests that El-Rufai recommended Jafaru Ibrahim Sani, who previously served as a commissioner in Kaduna State, to be his replacement.

The report also stated that El-Rufai told Tinubu that he needs time to focus on his doctorate program in The Netherlands and believes Sani would be valuable to the government.

During his Senate screening, El-Rufai mentioned that Tinubu had specifically asked him to work on addressing the power problems in the country.
