Osuntokun: El-Rufai Never Got Over Tinubu's Ribadu Preference
February 18, 2026·6 days ago·via Arise News
Akin Osuntokun, former Obasanjo adviser and Labour Party campaign head, reveals the deep roots of the feud between Nasir El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu trace back to 2007 when Bola Tinubu's public opinion survey massively favored Ribadu at 45-57% over El-Rufai's measly 7%. Tinubu then backed Ribadu as ACN presidential candidate, a snub Osuntokun says El-Rufai never overcame despite his later success as Kaduna governor for eight years.
