El-Rufai Started Attacking Jonathan After Picking Sambo as VP – Omokri

Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 30th Jan, 2025 - tori.ng

Omokri claimed that El-Rufai started attacking ex-President Goodluck Jonathan after he picked Nemadi Sambo as his Vice Presidential nominee in 2010.

 
Reno Omokri has continued to slam former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai over his statement against the government of President Bola Tinubu.
 
Omokri who recently crossed camp to become a hardcore supporter of Tinubu claimed that El-Rufai started attacking ex-President Goodluck Jonathan after he picked Nemadi Sambo as his Vice Presidential nominee in 2010.
 
He made the claim on a post on X.
 
Reacting also to the claim that the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi informed him that mercenaries were hired to destroy the LP like they are doing in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Omokri further slammed El-Rufai.
 
Omokri wrote: “Because Mr. Obi was part of the Jonathan administration, like myself, and knows that Nasir el-Rufai met President Jonathan at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, and began praising Dr. Jonathan after that meeting and urging the then-acting President to contest the 2011 Presidential election because he thought he would be named vice President by President Jonathan.

“But four days later, on May 15, 2010, when then-President Jonathan named Namadi Sambo the vice presidential nominee instead of him, Nasir el-Rufai began fighting him.

“Now, after having been snubbed by this administration, el-Rufai is up to his old antics.

“I call on Nigerians to remind Nasir el-Rufai of his diabolical history and tell him they would not stand for a military coup because he lost out on becoming a minister.”
