Buhari Responsible For Lawmakers’ Defection – El-Rufai
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said the reason some senators defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) was because of the fear of President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war.
The governor claimed that the senators dumped the APC over fear that Buhari may arrest and prosecute them if he wins the 2019 presidential election.

El-Rufai blamed the lawmakers for not giving their maximum support to the president, adding that Buhari would have achieved more but for the consistent sabotage on his effort.
Speaking during a Hausa media chat aired on radio stations in the state, the governor said, “Why did these people (senators) leave APC? It’s because they love bribe and were afraid of what President Muhammadu Buhari will do to them if he gets re-elected. This is just the truth.
“What joined them together is that they love bribery and corruption and they are afraid President Buhari will deal with them.
“Nobody will criticise this government for lack of performance because they are trying their best. If the senators were honestly supporting the president, he would have achieved more than what he currently achieved; but instead they are sabotaging his effort,” he said.
