"El-Rufai not people's man" - Shehu Sani
Speaking on TVC’s Politics Tonight on Monday, September 1, Sani asserted that El-Rufai has been “angry and frustrated” since leaving office in 2023.
“For people like Nasir, when they found themselves in the position of office, they don’t know what democracy is all about because they didn’t fight for it,” Sani said.
“He was an unknown figure before 1999 and became DG of BPE. He has never been in a cell for one day. He has never been in prison.
“For me, I have been through the rough times of my life. I have been through many prisons. I have been through many police stations. I wore handcuffs as a political prisoner fighting for this democracy that is 25 years old.”

"El-Rufai is arrogant" - Shehu Sani
Speaking further, Sani said politicians like El-Rufai, who benefitted from the establishment without personal sacrifice, govern with arrogance once in power.
As reported by The Cable, the former lawmaker described the ex-minister as “angry and frustrated after failing to maintain political control” in Kaduna and at the federal level.
“He thought he was going to be in the cycle of power at the federal level. That also failed. And now he has returned back to mischief.”
