Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to President Bola Tinubu’s birthday message to him, stating that it shamed his critics who didn’t want to felicitate with him on his birthday.
In a post on X, El-Rufai wrote: “I want to thank everyone who sent me their prayers and best wishes, including those who didn’t want to until President Tinubu’s message shamed them into action.”
El-Rufai had recently criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) under Tinubu’s leadership, accusing the party of lacking internal democracy. However, Tinubu sent El-Rufai a birthday message on February 16, 2025, praising the former governor.

El-Rufai expressed gratitude to those who sent him birthday messages and prayers, saying: “May the Almighty God accept our prayers and continue to shower His blessings on us and our people.”
He also acknowledged that he couldn’t respond to all the messages individually, saying: “I have tried to repost, retweet, and share all the birthday messages I received, but as an imperfect mortal, I am sure I couldn’t have done so with all. If I didn’t with yours, please forgive me. It is an omission of the head, not of the heart.”
