In a scathing rebuke, former Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has taken aim at current Governor Uba Sani following remarks made during an interview on TVC News. Sani had criticized politicians forming coalitions, asserting that many were part of government less than two years ago and questioning their commitment to effective governance.

“Most of these politicians that came out and say they are coming as coalition, they are politicians that were in government only less than two years ago. What did they do when they were in government? They were only fighting for power, not because they could do anything better,” Sani stated.
When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth
El-Rufai responded with a pointed critique, referencing the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes: “When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth.” This remark served to underscore El-Rufai’s argument that Sani’s statements were less about genuine political discourse and more about self-interest.
The former governor expressed his frustration with Sani’s perceived sycophancy, remarking, “Every day I see this governor embarrassingly and sycophantically rambling, I used to wonder why.” He further clarified that the substantial financial support—over N150 billion—received by Kaduna from the federal government in the past 18 months under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sheds light on Sani’s behavior.
El-Rufai concluded his statement by acknowledging the political landscape, saying, “By all means, defend Asiwaju for the conditional cash transfer. Asiwaju has earned it, coming from you. The people of Kaduna State will judge at the right time and place. Have a nice day.”

As tensions rise within Kaduna’s political arena, the outcome of this public exchange remains to be seen, with both leaders likely to face scrutiny from the electorate as the political climate evolves.
