Tinubu Begged Me To Help Him Conquer Electricity Mafia – Nasir El-Rufai

El-Rufai: Tinubu Publicly Begged Me To Be Minister In His Government But Changed His Mind

“Guys, I was minister 20 years ago in my forties, and I told Tinubu I did not want to be minister, I was not interested. He appealed to me, begged me, and he gave me a challenge. What was the challenge? Nobody has sorted out electricity, no president has defeated the electricity mafia, you and I can work to defeat it. It was the challenge that made me accept. Now, I had an opportunity to serve my country, and the person that gave me that opportunity changed his mind, and it’s okay. I’ve moved on with my life.”
