For someone who is very familiar with the workings of government, it is surprising that the former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-rufai would choose to go into the opposition less than two years after he celebrated the victory of the APC and in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is true that the former minister who has earned nicknames like Mai Rusau (the demolition man) and others gave his all to ensure the victory of the APC at the last general elections, but in Nigeria, it is considered unwise to be in the opposition or run on any other platform apart from the ruling party, at a period an incumbent is vying for a second term.
