Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has dismissed reports linking him to a possible presidential bid in 2027.
Speculation had emerged suggesting the African Democratic Congress chieftain was preparing to run for office. However, in a statement released by his media aide, Muyiwa Adekeye, El-Rufai made it clear that the claims did not originate from him.
“Disclaimer. Malam Nasir El-Rufai wishes to dissociate himself from comments regarding political aspirations which have been attributed to someone described by the media as a political associate.
“He did not authorise such comments.
“Throughout his public life, Mallam Nasir @elrufai has been known for the frank articulation of his views. He is not about to outsource the expression of his political views and thoughts to others.
“His public communication would continue to be issued directly by him or through his authorised spokesperson,” the statement read.
