A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has faulted the party over its attitude towards former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

Igbokwe lamented that APC just ignored El-Rufai without thinking of how the party got to its current level.

Posting on his page, Igbokwe described the former governor as a fearless leader, key player and organizer.

Igbokwe said: “I do not know why the leadership of APC Nigeria thinks that a scholar with huge brain, a bold thinker, a fearless leader, a facilitator, a key player, a team player, organizer like Mallam El-Rufai can just be ignored as if we do not know how we got here.”

El-Rufai, a founding father of the APC, has been sidelined since President Bola Tinubu assumed office.

Tinubu had nominated El-Rufai for a ministerial role but the Senate failed to clear him.

El-Rufai’s successor, Governor Sani Uba’s administration had instituted a probe against him over alleged misappropriation of funds while in office.
