Buhari told me he chose Gbajabiamila for Speaker not Tinubu – El-Rufai makes revelations

The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has declared that House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) was being backed by President Muhammadu Buhari himself, and not the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu as is supposed in some quarters.

El-Rufai stated this on Friday when the Femi/Wase Campaign, alongside over 120 other lawmakers, paid him a visit at the Kaduna State Government House.

“There was a misconception that Femi’s candidature was from Bola Tinubu but the fact is that it was President Muhammadu Buhari himself who chose him because of his commitment and dedication to legislative duties.
