A former Presidential Aide, Dr. Doyin Okupe has urged the Nigerian Senate to backtrack on its decision to drop former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai from the ministerial list.
Recalled that forty-five ministerial nominees out of 48 nominees forwarded to the Senate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have been confirmed, El-Rufai and two others have not been cleared by security checks.
However, Okupe in a statement on Wednesday, said “very few people will doubt El Rufai's competence and immense capacity to perform.”
He posted, “The Nigerian Senate should reconsider their decision to drop former Governor El Rufai from the ministerial list.
“I am not a fan of Mallam El Rufai who I consider to be a radical of some sort and who have in recent past demonstrated some traits of Religious extremism.”
“Still, very few people will doubt El Rufai's competence and immense capacity to perform. If it is true that he is being considered for the power ministry, I don't think we should cut our noses to spite or faces.”
“The Senate may insist on an undertaking from him before his confirmation that while in office as minister, he will refrain from making any comments or remarks on religion.”
“The power ministry is extremely important in our economy and in our serious efforts to combat poverty.”
“If any Nigerian can fix our energy problems, former Governor El Rufai is certainly one of such people.”, he said
