Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-rufai has said he wasn’t a close associate of President Bola Tinubu.

El-rufai, who spoke in an interview with Arise TV on Monday, stated that during the 2022 presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC, he was indifferent on the choice of candidate.

According to him, his only concern was for a Southerner to emerge as the party’s flagbearer, stressing that whoever the South presented didn’t matter.He said, “I was indifferent on who became the presidential candidate of APC.

“The only thing I was determined to do was to stop a Northerner from becoming the candidate of the party based on what I know.

“When we formed the party in 2013, we agreed that after Buhari’s 8 years, power will go to the South.

“Tinubu was never my friend, we weren’t close”.
