El-Rufai says former allies’ departure has not bred resentment

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai says he does not hate or resent former colleagues and friends who have distanced themselves from him. The statement, reported by Punch Nigeria, comes as he describes his position during what the report calls his current circumstances, without providing further details about the departures.
Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has said he bears no hatred or resentment towards former colleagues and friends who have abandoned him, according to Punch Nigeria. The report did not identify the former associates or explain the circumstances in which they allegedly distanced themselves from him. It also did not provide details of any specific disagreement between El-Rufai and the people he referred to.
El-Rufai’s comments present his position as one of forgiveness or non-confrontation towards those who were previously close to him. Punch Nigeria described him as speaking about his “current” circumstances, but the available report does not give further information about what prompted the statement. The former governor served as Kaduna’s governor before leaving office, although the supplied material contains no additional information about his present political activities, relationships with former colleagues or any response from the people mentioned.
His remarks, as reported, focus on his personal attitude rather than announcing any new political decision or action. He said the fact that former friends and colleagues had abandoned him had not caused him to develop hatred or resentment towards them.
