Reno Omokri, a former presidential spokesperson and well-known political commentator, has shared his thoughts on why President Bola Tinubu did not appoint Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, as a minister.

In a social media post, Omokri claimed that El-Rufai did not pass security checks, which led to his name being dropped. He added that the National Assembly did not confirm El-Rufai’s appointment due to these security concerns.

Omokri made these statements in response to El-Rufai’s recent comments on Arise TV, where he spoke about his relationship with Tinubu and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.

While El-Rufai has not officially responded to Omokri’s claims, the discussion continues to generate reactions from Nigerians, especially those following political appointments in the country.
