Posting on his Facebook page, he wondered what went wrong between the two friends.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has lamented over the fallout between President Bola Tinubu and former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
According to him, that should never have happened.
Igbokwe said Tinubu and El-Rufai used to be great, committed friends and associates.
Posting on his Facebook page, he wondered what went wrong between the two friends.
According to Igbokwe: “I am still asking what went wrong between these two committed, great friends and associates. It should not have been allowed to happen in the first place.
“What God has joined together let no man put asunder. Good morning to the good people of Nigeria only.”
Lately, El-Rufai has been in the news for criticizing the ruling APC over its internal affairs.
At an event in Abuja, El-Rufai said he no longer recognizes the APC because the party no longer practices internal democracy.
He also accused the party of abandoning its founding principles and fostering poor leadership.
Faulting the former governor, a staunch supporter of the president, Reno Omokri accused El-Rufai of orchestrating the killing of residents in Kaduna State while serving as governor.
Omokri described El-Rufai as a bloodthirsty tyrant, who takes pleasure in seeing “blood flowing on the streets of Kaduna.”
However, the APC spokesman, Felix Morka, dismissed the former governor’s claim, stressing that he failed in managing his affairs.
