Bwala, the Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the appeal on Friday barely few hours after the former governor slammed him for defending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC, because he wants to keep his job in the Presidency.

Recall that El rufai had few days ago, at a political events in Abuja, the nation’s capital criticised the APC for lacking in internal democracy and for running a one man show.

He urged opposition party to unite ahead the 2027 general election to dislodged the ruling party, adding that “I no longer recognise’ the APC.

The former governor is a member of the APC, but has recently distanced himself from the party following his failure to scale the Nigerian Senate confirmation hurdles as a minister after he was nominated by the president.

Responding, Bwala had descended on the former governor describing him as a loser, saying he has lost out I the APC that’s why he’s bent on bringing the party down.

Bwala in his latest post on X however begged El rufai to return to the APC, saying opposition party are watching on whether they can poach him to their side, a development that will not augur well for the ruling party.

He also accused El rufai of being unpatriotic in his remark against the party and President Tinubu, adding that his criticism is smirk of vengeance against the party the ‘melodramatic activities.”

He added, “The opposition see that singular element of vengeance as a veritable tool for your recruitment,” into their party, appealing to the former governor to “come home; you have toiled all nights.”

Below, Bwala’s remark on X

Still my senior brother @elrufai , I am sure you don’t need anyone to tell you about my respect and admiration for you, not just for your brilliance , but also as one of the brightest we have from the northern extraction. I am not stating it for the first time today and you know that.

My worry however is the motive behind your statements and actions; they are not borne out of patriotism, but need for vengeance. The opposition see that singular element of vengeance as a veritable tool for your recruitment .

With respect, I am not a latter day Asiwaju supporter. We both played our  roles in his emergence as candidate of the party ahead of 2023 elections. And before then, whilst you were from the CPC extraction of APC, I was from the ACN, which explains why I worked with Comrade Oshiomhole when he chaired the party amongst other things to protect the interest of Asiwaju whom at the time you people vowed to retire from politics.

I still think you don’t need all these melodramatic activities or a vengeance mission. Come back and resolve whatever you think is your grievances like a dignified man that you are.

Our party APC as of today remains the only organized party with identifiable structures across the country. So if you are looking for any symbol of democracy, it is still in your party.

Please senior, come home; you have toiled all nights.

The presidential aide appeal to El rufai comes a few days after Joe Igbokwe, an APC Chieftain and close ally of President Tinubu said the party must do all that is required to bring the former governor back to its fold.

El rufai has yet to leave the party, but his recent fraternity with the opposition has led to the suggestions that his days are numbered in the APC.
