Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, says the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) can’t do anything about the ministerial nomination ordeal of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
Sule, who is a member of the PGF, the governors’ forum of the All Progressives Congress (APC), also said El-Rufai has not left the ruling party despite his rejection as a ministerial nominee by the National Assembly in August 2023.
“El-Rufai has not left our party; he is still part of our party,” Sule said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.

“What led to his (El-Rufai’s) nomination, what led to his rejection by the Senate or by the security agencies, to be honest with you, are not issues we discussed either at the Progressives Governors’ Forum or even the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. They are not issues because what doesn’t concern us, we can do nothing about it.
It is the prerogative of Mr President to nominate whoever should be his minister and he nominated. Also, there are agencies including the National Assembly that either confirm or reject and they rejected (him),” said the Nasarawa governor.
