Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has reiterated his no-nonsense approach to politics, stating that he does not belong to the class of politicians who pretend.

The outspoken ex-governor, who has recently been in a war of words with one of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aide, Daniel Bwala, also—without mentioning names—slammed some politicians in the country as Nollywood actors.

El-Rufai made the remark in response to a Twitter user, Ira Habib, who praised the ex-governor for his authenticity after reading his book ‘Accidental Public Servant’. Habib expressed that no politician would include El-Rufai in their cabinet unless they were genuinely committed to Nigeria’s development.

In response, El-Rufai appreciated the praise but added, “Truly, I don’t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for some others, not some of us.”
