Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, recently, took a major step in his political journey. While downplaying el-Rufai’s political influence, Bwala said that his move to unseat the ruling government was not driven by ideology but by personal ambition. He said though el-Rufai’s defection had been anticipated, he should have exercised more patience to allow the coalition talks to be finalised. Political watchers seem to be of the opinion that el-Rufai may not go far in his new political journey. A Federal Character Commissioner representing Oyo State, Prof. Adeniyi Olowofela, likened el-Rufai’s defection to SDP to committing political suicide.
