Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai, has made it clear that he will not accept the position of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) if offered by President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking at a policy conversation and book launch in Abuja, El-Rufai stated that he is too old for the job and that there are many young people who could do an even better job than he did when he served as FCT Minister under ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
El-Rufai also emphasized that he does not look back once he leaves a job and that he has already done his bit for the FCT.
Despite speculations that he may serve as Chief of Staff or FCT Minister in the incoming government, El-Rufai made it clear that he is done with that chapter of his life.
The event was jointly organised by the Africa Programme of the US-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Abuja-based Agora Policy.
