OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that the Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Saturday described himself as an unpretentious politician, adding that he is not a Nollywood actor in governance because he cannot pretend.

OTN News further reports that El-Rufai disclosed this when he was reacting to an X user @irahabib who said no politician would want El-Rufai in his cabinet because he does not pretend.

The user wrote: “The day I read El-Rufai’s book titled Accidental Public Servant, I concluded that no politician would want @elrufai in their cabinet unless they genuinely intend to develop this country. He doesn’t know how to pretend.”

Reacting, El-Rufai posted: “Thanks for your kind words, @irahabib. Truly, I don’t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for some others, not some of us. Have a nice day. – @elrufai”

OTN News had earlier reported that lately, the former governor has been in the news for criticizing President Bola Tinubu-led administration and the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The former governor who spoke at an event in Abuja, said that he no longer recognizes the APC due to lack of internal democracy.

He noted that the APC no longer has internal democracy, stressing that no organ of the party have met in the last two years.
