The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said there are “elements” in the Presidential Villa that are seeking the failure of the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25, 2023 election.
“I believe that there are elements in the Villa that want us to lose the elections because they didn’t get their way,” El-Rufai said during a live appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday.
