The Senate had reportedly withheld El-Rufai's confirmation, along with two others, based on security reports from the Department of State Services.
In response to this situation, El-Rufai is said to have communicated his decision to President Tinubu, expressing his willingness to relinquish his ministerial slot and proposing a replacement.
Adeyanju's commentary on the matter was tinged with sarcasm, suggesting that it might be a logical step for El-Rufai to join Peter Obi's Labour Party and contest in the 2027 elections. He humorously proposed that the two could form a combined presidential and vice-presidential ticket, likening their potential partnership to a "union made in heaven."
Adeyanju's tweet on Friday read, "But it will make a lot of sense if elRufai joins the Labour Party. He will meet his fellow religious bigot there, and they can both run as presidential and VP candidates in 2027. They will fight their religious war together. Peter/El-Rufai 2027 ticket will be a strong one. A union made in Heaven. They both have bigotry and betrayal running in their DNA."
While Adeyanju's comments are laced with satire, they underscore the current political dynamics and discussions surrounding El-Rufai's withdrawal and the potential future moves of political figures in Nigeria.
