A former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has taken to X to mock 'political mercenary' Reno Omokri.
 El-rufai accused Omokri of weaponizing himself as a political mercenary for any administration that can pay.
 He made the submission on Monday.
 It all began when El-rufai shared and supported an article by a frontline columnist, Farooq Kperogi accusing the President of recruiting his tribesmen into the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.
 In the article, titled “Tinubu’s Buharisation of the NNPC,” Kperogi described as embarrassing the president’s “relentless Yorubacentric take-over of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC,” as the Northerners did under the immediate past administration Muhammadu Buhari.
Reacting to the article, El-Rufai posted on X: “DECEMBER MESSAGE: Two wrongs do not make a right. Sensible inclusion always trumps arrogant exclusion.”
 His reaction, however, attracted backlash from the presidency and supporters of President Tinubu including Reno Omokri.
