“I’m not ready to retire from politics, so sooner or later, I may have to find another platform to pursue the progressive values that I believe in if I can’t find them in the APC,” he stated.

As previously reported by Naija News, the former governor also addressed reports regarding his ministerial nomination, clarifying that he was not rejected by the National Assembly.

El-Rufai explained that President Bola Tinubu simply changed his mind about appointing him, dismissing claims that his nomination was blocked due to a security report from the Department of State Services (DSS).

“Since I left office and the president publicly urged me to support him, I agreed and made it clear that I didn’t want anything in return. I am a self-made man; I don’t need anything. After two months of discussions, we finally agreed that he would nominate me as a minister under certain conditions. However, somewhere along the line, the president changed his mind. Please don’t believe the narrative that the National Assembly rejected me—they had nothing to do with it. The president simply did not want me in his cabinet,” El-Rufai explained.
