Caged: Inside the power tussle that consumed El-Rufai

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past Kaduna state governor, has found himself outside the power loop after spearheading the push by the North West zone for Bola Tinubu presidency, perhaps, in furtherance of his own personal agenda and ambition.

After being nominated and screened by the Senate, he is one of the three nominees the senate did not approve citing adverse security reports. For a man like El- Rufai it was a political humiliation of incalculable proportion.
