In a stunning moment of reflection and public humility, Bello El-Rufai, son of the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has issued a heartfelt apology to former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, acknowledging that he was naive and misguided in his past criticisms.
Bello, who now serves as a federal lawmaker representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, made the confession during a live media interview, citing that maturity and experience have reshaped his understanding of governance and leadership.> “At the time I criticized President Jonathan, I was very young, politically immature, and driven by sentiments I didn’t fully understand. In hindsight, I realize he governed under very difficult circumstances and with a level of patience and tolerance that is rare. I sincerely apologise to him,” Bello said.
The statement has sparked massive reactions across social media platforms and political circles, with many Nigerians praising the young El-Rufai for his rare show of remorse in an era where political egos often take precedence over accountability.
Supporters of the former president, as well as neutral observers, welcomed the apology, with some stating that this vindicates Jonathan’s often-cited legacy of peace, democracy, and tolerance.Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015, was heavily criticized during and after his tenure by many, including political figures and their affiliates.
