The Information Minister also responded to allegations by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State that some “elements” in the Presidential Villa are workingagainst the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He reiterated the President’s position that his administration will only focus on ensuring a free, fair and credible elections and not favour or cause anyone to be at a disadvantage, adding that if there is anyone working against any candidate, it is not officially known or verifiable.

The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, had earlier alleged that some “elements” in Aso Rock are working against Tinubu’s emergence as President, citing the “naira redesign policy” as one of several schemes targeted at the APC presidential candidate.

El-Rufai, who spoke in an interview, explained that the persons in question were aggrieved that Tinubu defeated their candidate in the June 2022 APC presidential primary.
