Nasir El-Rufai: The Master of Betrayal Now Playing the Saint. By Dr. Ibrahim Anas Umar, 10th February, 2025. Nasir El-Rufai has built a political career on cunning, opportunism and betrayal. Once seen as a young, brilliant technocrat, he has become one of Nigeria’s most controversial political figures. To others, he is an opportunist who thrives on betrayal, selective loyalty and political deception. Despite his well-documented history of political backstabbing, he now seeks to rebrand himself as a self-righteous statesman, painting his actions as driven by integrity rather than personal ambition. His history is filled with instances where he turned against those who helped him rise to power, using them when convenient and discarding them when they no longer serve his interests. Now, after years of benefiting from the Nigerian political system, he attempts to portray himself as a saint, a man of integrity who was merely a victim of the same system he actively participated in creating and manipulating. While he is busy trying to rewrite history, Nigerians must not forget the long trail of political deception, backstabbing and self-serving maneuvers that define El-Rufai’s journey. From betraying those who mentored him to deceiving the people of Kaduna with unfulfilled promises, his actions expose him as a man who serves only himself. Let take a look at how he betrayed for Former President Obasanjo: The Mentor Who Elevated Him El-Rufai’s journey to political prominence began under President Olusegun Obasanjo, who appointed him as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in 2003. As Minister, he carried out one of the most aggressive demolitions in Abuja’s history, displacing thousands of residents in the name of urban renewal. Despite the controversy, Obasanjo backed him and shielded him from political attacks. However, rather than remaining loyal to the man who gave him the opportunity, El-Rufai later turned against Obasanjo. He became one of his loudest critics, dismissing his legacy and portraying himself as a victim of Obasanjo’s administration. This act of betrayal raised questions about his character, how could he so easily attack the man who made him relevant? Atiku Abubakar was instrumental in the making of Elrufai, However, as a habitual betrayer, Nasir El-Rufai’s political history with Atiku Abubakar is complex, marked by shifting alliances and betrayals over the years. Their relationship dates back to the early 2000s when both were key figures in President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration—Atiku as Vice President and El-Rufai as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. •During Obasanjo’s second term (2003–2007), Atiku fell out with the president over succession plans. Atiku had supported El-Rufai’s rise in government, but when the power struggle between Obasanjo and Atiku intensified, El-Rufai sided with Obasanjo. •El-Rufai became one of Atiku’s harshest critics and allegedly played a role in efforts to sideline him within the government. •In 2014, when the All Progressives Congress (APC) was being formed, Atiku and El-Rufai were both in the mix. Atiku sought the APC presidential ticket, but El-Rufai strongly backed Muhammadu Buhari instead. •El-Rufai played a significant role in Buhari’s victory, further sidelining Atiku within the party. •When Atiku emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in 2019 to challenge Buhari, El-Rufai, as Governor of Kaduna State, was one of the most vocal opponents of Atiku. •He was accused of using state machinery and rhetoric to undermine Atiku’s chances, particularly in the North. El-Rufai, despite his previous ties with Atiku, actively worked behind the scenes to weaken Atiku’s influence in Northern politics, ensuring that he remained out of power.
