During a recent television interview, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai stated that he plans to remain active in politics for life to help influence good governance and candidate selection, even though he has no intention of seeking elective office again. He revealed that he was originally reluctant and pressured by former President Muhammadu Buhari to run for the governorship in 2015, and he cautioned that he would consider leaving the All Progressives Congress to find another political platform if the party fails to realign with its original progressive values.
