Sani stressed that rather than El-Rufai, his mentors are President Bola Tinubu and the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi.
Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani has distanced himself from his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai.
This is as he stated that El-Rufai is not his mentor.
Speaking in an interview on TVC on Sunday, Sani stressed that rather than El-Rufai, his mentors are President Bola Tinubu and the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi.
Recall that El-Rufai had during a recent appearance on Channels Television, described the Kaduna governor as one of the many people he mentored.
“Uba Sani is one of my mentees. I developed many of them. My biggest pride in life is that I’ve elevated many people. I’ve encouraged and mentored many people to greatness. Some even greater than me, and I’m very proud of it,” El-Rufai had said.
Reacting, however, Governor Sani said he would not be drawn into personal exchanges, insisting his focus remains on delivering for the people of Kaduna State.
“I don’t think it is necessary for me to respond to that comment because for me it is something I think I have no time to respond to,” he said.
Instead, Sani named President Tinubu and the late Fawehinmi as the leaders who shaped his political journey.
“I have so many people that I’ve worked with in my life. Even President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — I met him in 1994 at the house of Beko Ransom Kuti, and I still regard him as my leader. Chief Gani Fawehinmi is a leader, a father to me because during the era of struggle, I lived in his house,” the governor stated.
