According to him, APC did not promise that the subsidy will stay and that it will redesign the naira.

El-Rufai further added that most of the people working with Buhari in Aso Rock are not members of the APC, adding that he has a strong belief that there are elements in the Villa that want the ruling party to lose the forthcoming election.
The governor’s comment is coming a few days after the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu, alleged that some people around the president are working against him so that the party will not retain power after the poll.

El-Rufai disclosed that the saboteurs have their preferred presidential candidate who failed to clinch the APC presidential ticket but failed to win at the primary.
According to the governor, the naira redesign by the CBN has inflicted more hardship on the people, particularly in the rural area and could turn the people against Tinubu.
