POLITICS 2023: Buhari was shocked when Lawan was named APC’s anointed candidate – El-RufaiPublished on February 2, 2023 By Ifreke Inyang

The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said President Muhammadu Buhari was shocked when he was told that Senate President Ahmad Lawan was the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s anointed candidate.


El-Rufai disclosed this while answering questions on a programme on TVC on Thursday.

In June 2022, before the APC presidential primary started, the National Chair of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, announced Lawan as the consensus candidate for the party.

The announcement was met with mixed reactions, including a rejection by several APC governors.

“We went to the president and said ‘Mr. President, this is what we are hearing; this is not what you’ve been telling us in the past two to three years. Is it true?’


“And the president expressed shock and said ‘I’m not part of this’.

“Right there and then, he summoned Garba Shehu to issue a statement that he hasn’t anointed anyone. And he told us very clearly ‘I have not anointed anyone’,” El-Rufai said.

Every progressive Nigerians felt the shock too

Jagaban is here already. May God protect Nigeria incoming president.

He's soothing the nerves of ACN supporters, so they will not roast him, when he accepts a ministerial position in Obi's administration.

Boss the news shock me too

Elrufai and lalong will be the ones to tell Tinubu to call Obi and accept defeat, after the election results are announced.

Well fixed.

Go and sit down if you don't have anything valuable to say

ganisucks:

Yeah I agree(pun intended)
Guys in your 'league' believe everything your remote control holders tell you for as long as it is against Buhari and Tinubu. smh

LordviccoDaGuru:

It's just like how NOI, was the one who pressured Jonathan to make the call.

Interesting!

Hmmm

shuttox:
APC full of lies
Are they indirectly begging Buhari to support Tinubu??

no,
Nothing buhari can do,
Is better he disassociate himself from the campaign

I tire

FLATIN0s had Osibanjo, Amaechi and Lawan getting anointing oil.

They cried hot tears when Tinubu cleared them all.

Was amusing when the okoros were getting 1 vote or no votes

The chairman couldnt have been bold with that announcement without perceiving Buhari body language. It was quite unfortunate that El Rufai never wanted it.

All i know is we'll not reinforce failure and hardship. Nigerians will correct this mistake of a government on the 25th

buhari has been shocking since 1695

Buhari is always shocked 😳🤣😂😅

But all of a sudden the short devil has been singing like a canary the past few days, is everything okay with the imp?

So make we na fry akamu?? The man is always shocked about things that he intentionally ignores till it worsens! In fact, I’m shocked that El’rufai didn’t expect the shocker to be shocked!
