The governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has declared that he will not be taking a ministerial position in Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government should the latter win the 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai is understood to have declined being the campaign director general for Bola/Shettima 2023 presidential pursuit. According to some sources, the governor is unhappy over Tinubu's choice of Shettima at his expense.
However, his decision not to be a member of Tinubu's cabinet is unrelated to politics but his personal decision to stay out of public service at the end of his current Governorship administration in Kaduna State.
He noted that rather than continue in public service, he will resort to writing books and working as a contractor:
“I was a Minister at 43, I don't want to be a Minister again at 63, it's time for the younger one to be Minister.
"I will look for money.I will write another book, I made a lot of money from my previous book.

"KADUNA State Governor’s pension is only 700k per month and I still have biological children attending primary school.
"I will rather be a contractor because I'm still paying school fees and plenty of friends I know will be in the incoming administration...
" So I will go to them and look for a contract”
Hmm 700k only when millions of Nigerians can barely feed.
