Also, the ex-governor recommended a replacement to serve as a minister.

Quoting a presidency source, the online Newspaper said El-Rufai had informed President Tinubu that he would no longer consider his nomination as a minister in the government.

El-Rufai reportedly assured Tinubu that he would continue contributing his quota to national development as a private citizen.
