The youth group expressed disappointment, alleging that El-Rufai’s recent outbursts stem from his frustration after failing to secure a ministerial role—a rejection by the Senate reportedly linked to growing distrust in his leadership style and personal integrity.
In a statement signed by Saminu Tukur, the NYF’s North West Zonal Coordinator, the group claimed El-Rufai was attempting to stir regional discontent in a bid to reclaim relevance ahead of the 2027 elections.
