Nasir El-Rufai, a former Kaduna State governor, has disclosed that Pastor Tunde Bakare “dragged him” into politics.

El-Rufai said Bakare took him to former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking with BBC Hausa on Thursday, the former governor declared that he never joined APC because of Buhari.

El-Rufai, who recently defected from APC to the Social Democratic Party, SDP, insisted that the former ruling party had derailed.

He pointed out that everyone in APC was working for themselves and looking for money.

According to El-Rufai, “the government is commercialised, everything has a price tag.”

He added “Justice has been kept at bay, those who worked for the party were ignored instead of being compensated. If there is any position or appointment, they give it to a Lagos boy, etc.

“That is why we’ve been speaking, we spoke, we said this is not the party we know. The party is dead. I said the only option is for me to meet Pastor Tunde Bakare, because he dragged me into APC.

“He took me to Buhari. I did not join the APC because of Buhari, it was Pastor Bakare, who dragged me to APC and courtesy demands I should let him know.

“Buhari too, I told him I was leaving the party, I sought his blessings and prayers. He said he has given me his blessings and prayers.

“We are the ones in politics, he (Buhari) is now father of the land and has been praying for us, so what remains?”
