El-Rufai, Kwanwakso, others and where they belong

According to the list, Abubakar named Nasir el-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, as the “founder” of the organisation.

Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu nominated El-Rufai as a minister, but the Senate refused to confirm him due to “security clearance.”

Moving forward, Abubakar listed Abdulaziz Yari, a senator representing Zamfara west, as the “director-general” and Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano state and flagbearer of the New Nigeria's Peoples Party (NNPP) as the “grand patron”.

Yahaya Bello, other members of the TRO

Abubakar said Aisha Binani, a former senator, is the “women leader,” Kabir Marafa, a former senator, is the “public relations officer,” and Yahaya Bello, a former governor of Kogi, is a “youth leader.”

Speaking further, the PDP chieftain said the other members of the organisation are Kabiru Gaya, a serving senator; Abdullahi Adamu, former national chairman of APC; Sadiya Umar Farouq, a former minister; Ahmed Yerima, a former governor of Zamfara; and Elisha Abbo, a former senator.
