You Cannot Continue To Behave Like A Child – Onanuga Replies El-Rufai’s Recent Comment On Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has stated that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is still upset over being excluded from Tinubu’s ministerial appointments.

El-Rufai was initially nominated for a ministerial position but was later dropped following Senate screening.

Since being left out of the cabinet, El-Rufai has become increasingly critical of Tinubu’s administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a recent interview, El-Rufai alleged that it was President Tinubu, not the Senate, who ultimately rejected his ministerial appointment.

However, speaking on *Sunrise Daily* on Channels Television on Tuesday, Onanuga acknowledged El-Rufai’s contributions to Tinubu’s election victory but urged him to move past the disappointment of not being appointed a minister.

“I will pity former Kaduna State governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, he feels hurt that he was not made a minister, but I think it’s time for him to move on,” Onanuga said.

“You cannot continue to behave like a child as if someone stole his bread and things like that and then you are crying over spilt milk.”

Onanuga acknowledged that El-Rufai has every right to feel aggrieved after playing a significant role in Tinubu’s election victory.

However, he emphasized that the President fully recognizes and appreciates his contributions.

“It is natural for him to feel bad that he has been excluded. I think the president has acknowledged in a recent tribute to him that Nasir did a lot in installing President Tinubu, and if he is not there it doesn’t mean he will bring down the roof.”

The presidential adviser stated that Tinubu holds no grudges against El-Rufai, but the former Kaduna governor has been actively campaigning against the president out of resentment.

Onanuga urged El-Rufai to move on, noting that he has been in public service since 1999 and it is time for him to let go.
