Former Kaduna State Senator, Shehu Sani, says the loyalty of Governor Nasir El-rufai to President Muhammadu Buhari has expired.
He said Buhari’s power and influence in politics has come to an end; El-Rufai has shifted camp to Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former Senator, in his reaction to El-Rufai’s outrage over Aso Rock cabal gang up against Tinubu in the presidential election, said the Governor rose to stardom on the crest of Buhari but does not need anything from the President anymore.

“Buhari should expect more attacks and open and direct insults from El-Rufai for three reasons. El-Rufai’s loyalty to Buhari has expired. He has gotten everything he wanted from Buhari, and Buhari is no more useful to him,” Sani said.
“Buhari abandoned all his good friends who served and sacrificed for him over the years in Kaduna because of his love for El-Rufai. We warned him against El-Rufai but he ignored [it].
“It’s time for Buhari to know that what he incubated and elevated is not a millipede or centipede but a serpent.
“I have never ever believed that El-Rufai likes Buhari. I have never ever believed that El-Rufai has ever been loyal to Buhari. I knew it was a pretense all the while and I knew that this day would come,” Sani added.

“El-Rufai simply stooped to get all he wanted from Buhari and now Buhari is of no use to him. El-Rrufai spent eight years praising Buhari and Buhari spent eight years praising El-Rufai each time he came to Kaduna. Buhari trusted keeping a scorpion close to his groin.
“Tinubu should be careful with El-Rufai. El-Rufai’s preference was Amaechi and not Tinubu. Kaduna APC delegates voted for Amaechi and not Tinubu.
“Tinubu should be careful so that El-Rufai should not drag him to start fighting with people whom he ordinarily should have no reason to fight. El-Rufai will create more enemies for Tinubu than friends.
“El-Rufai is a friend and beneficiary of the CBN Governor [Godwin Emefiele]. His fight against cashless policies is not about the common people; it’s about the fear of losing power.
