FACT Check:did El-rufai Ask Tinubu To Withdraw Presidential Ambition Over Old Ag by OLAADEX(m): 9:40pm On Nov 26, 2022 |
A social media post has claimed that Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, urged Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential flagbearer of the ruling party to withdraw his presidential ambition due to old age. Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, and director of strategic communications for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign posted a video of el-Rufai speaking in Hausa on his Instagram page on November 19, 2022. “El-Rufai on Tinubu. “When you get to a certain age, you should thank God and leave others to continue. Since they said it must be Tinubu, we are watching. His energy is failing from what I saw of him when we were together the day before yesterday,” reads the caption of the post. Also, Reno Omokri, former special adviser to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, posted a smaller portion of the same footage on Twitter with the caption “English version of el-Rufai video telling Tinubu he is not fit to be president!”. With the aid of InVID video verification tool, the video footage was traced to a 56 minutes Facebook Live broadcast held by El-Rufai on July 27, 2022, where the governor responded in Hausa to questions from journalists. He responded by saying that he wasn’t interested in any position and therefore would not contest for the Kaduna central senatorial seat. He said he is 62 years old and becoming weak, therefore, he would rather pave way for other young people. “The tip of the pen is already dry. There is a candidate for that position, it is Muhammad Sani Dattijo,” el-Rufai said. “He is my person, I put him there, he has agreed to do it and I believe he’ll even do a better job than what Sen. Uba Sani has done in the Senate. I didn’t come out to do politics my whole life. Before politics, I was a businessman,” he added. El-Rufai didn’t say Tinubu is too old to run TheCable translated the entire Facebook live media chat and realised that el-Rufai was referring to himself, expressing his feelings on his personal retirement plans. “Before the primaries, I told Tinubu clearly, because he told me he wants me to help him and I said to him, we will surely help you but know that I don’t want anything because I’m tired. “I thank God for everything. I told him the work I’ve done is enough, but he said it’s not enough that I’m not tired, and we will talk about it again. So, I told him, we should continue dragging, but I won’t do it, I don’t want any position,” he said. Verdict The claim that el-Rufai said Tinubu is too old for his presidential ambition is misleading. The governor of Kaduna in the media chat was referring to his personal retirement plans and not Tinubu’s presidential ambition. TheCable translated the entire Facebook live media chat and realised that el-Rufai was referring to himself, expressing his feelings on his personal retirement plans. https://www.facebook.com/282962855212714/posts/pfbid024R42Ejxy1isRqtRkj4yQsr3Yx7dJRqMJiCrSd1K4S4drVEpRjXX7c1qAa1SdKbeil/?mibextid=Nif5oz
