According to a source, Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, reportedly withdrew his application to be a minister under President Bola Tinubu.
He not only resigned from his position as a minister, but he also suggested Jafaru Ibrahim Sani, who held the position of commissioner for three ministries in Kaduna State: local government, education, and environment.
After the Senate decided not to confirm El-Rufai and two other nominees, Stella Okotete of Delta State and Sani A Danladi of Taraba State, the report was released.
Recall that the Senate confirmed 45 of the 48 Tinubu nominations under the presidency of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The Red Chamber legislative arm said El-Rufai, Okotete, and Danladi were not confirmed due to security checks.
But a report by Premium Times on Friday quoting sources in the Presidency said the ex-governor, who is a staunch supporter of the President, has declined the offer to serve as a minister in the administration.
El-Rufai reportedly assured Tinubu that he will continue to contribute his quota to national development as a private citizen.
The report said the former governor “needed time to focus on his doctorate programme at a university in The Netherlands” and assured the President that he would find Sani “very useful and resourceful” in the government.
