El-Rufai’s remark on ministerial role resurfaces (Video)

A resurfaced video of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has sparked discussions as he expressed his reservations about returning as a minister due to his age and the need to groom younger leaders for the role.

In the video, El-Rufai can be heard discussing in Hausa the prospect of being offered a ministerial position.

Referring to his previous tenure as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory from 2003 to 2007 under the Obasanjo administration, he stated, “You became a minister at forty-three and after twenty years then you become a minister at sixty-three? What of your children and younger brothers? Will they not become ministers? Is the position meant for you alone? I don’t like this. Let go of this topic.”

El-Rufai went on to emphasize the importance of nurturing and empowering the next generation of leaders.

He said: “Thank God I was lucky that I became Minister of Abuja when I was forty-three years old. Next year I will clock sixty-three. Then I will go back. So, nobody among my younger brothers and children is capable of becoming a minister? You fail when you fail to train those to succeed you. I have trained a lot of people who are capable of succeeding in many areas.”

The resurfaced video comes at a time when El-Rufai is included in the ministerial list forwarded to the National Assembly for screening by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
