The back-and-forth between Daniel Bwala and Nasir El-Rufai seems to be getting heated. Bwala’s dismissal of El-Rufai’s claims, calling them “word salad” and incoherent, highlights a deepening rift within the political elite. El-Rufai’s criticism of Tinubu, particularly about his ministerial nomination and the uncertainty of his support for the 2027 re-election, is striking.
El-Rufai’s frustration seems to stem from his belief that the security concerns around his nomination were a convenient excuse, rather than the real reason behind his exclusion. On the other hand, Bwala’s response suggests he sees El-Rufai’s comments as a personal attack, possibly linked to El-Rufai’s ambition and desire for attention.
What do you make of this political drama? Do you think El-Rufai’s criticisms hold any merit?
