I Hardly Make Any Major Decision Without Consulting Buhari – El-Rufai

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasiru El-Rufai has revealed that he hardly makes any major decisions without consulting former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He added that Buhari was aware of his decision before he left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

El-Rufai disclosed this in an interview with the BBC Hausa service on Wednesday.

He said, “There are certain people that before I do any major thing or make any decision, I consult, and anything they ask me not to do, I don’t do, and former President Muhammadu Buhari is among them.

“I consulted Buhari before leaving the APC. It was on a Friday when I went and met him. I hardly make any major decision without consulting him. I told him to pray for me and give me his blessings, which he did.”

“Even when I was governor of Kaduna, before I appointed my commissioners, I took the list to Buhari for cross-checking to see if, from among them, someone ever insulted him.

“He laughed, thanked me and told me you can go ahead and appoint commissioners.”
