Coalition: ‘The Whole Problem We Have Now Is Because Of El-Rufai’ – NNPP Spokesman, Johnson

The Spokesman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Ladipo Johnson, has opined that the former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is responsible for the problem regarding the anti-coalition against President Bola Tinubu.

Naija News reports that Johnson, in an interview on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Tuesday, hinted that the NNPP’s National Leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, may be in talks with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other political parties, including the coalition.

However, Johnson stated that El-Rufai is the major problem they are currently having because he was too quick to talk about the opposition coalition.

He said it would have been better to conclude arrangements before revealing the coalition.

He said, “If I said that we are not talking to anyone that will be a lie, the whole problem we have now is because of El-Rufai, who moved too quickly and started talking too quickly.

“All I’m saying is that when you have a sitting government and you think you want to take them on, there are certain things you have to leave to the last possible moment. When you come out to show your cards, it makes it easier for them to pick you out and stop you.

“The various groups and movements in this country are all talking with each other. I have people who talk to me in my own little way and I’m sure Kwankwaso will be considering all sorts.

“It will depend on other things because Kwankwaso is very aware of the situation in the country, and each time he moved, he moved to the opposition.”

Speaking further, Johnson maintained that Kwankwaso is not about stomach infrastructure because he is principled, adding that President Bola Tinubu will pick the former Governor of Kano State over the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.

He said, “He’s not about stomach infrastructure, he moved from the ruling PDP when they were disheartened to form the APC, and when the APC got into government, he moved out again.

“It’s about principles for him, whether you like him or not, he is a principled person. If you were in Tinubu’s shoes, would you take Kwankwaso to Ganduje? What does Ganduje bring to the table?”
