El-Rufai Laments Silence of Friends, Ex-Colleagues Amid His Legal, Political Troubles
He said some former allies have stayed silent as he remains in ICPC custody over corruption allegations and multiple court charges.
- On Wednesday, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai addressed his detention by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission in a statement titled "My Relationships and the Aftermath" posted on Facebook.
- A 2024 Kaduna State House of Assembly probe report alleging mismanagement of public funds during his 2015–2023 administration prompted the ICPC to prosecute El-Rufai; he remains in custody under court-authorised remand orders.
- Addressing the "apparent silence" of former colleagues, El-Rufai stated he bears "no resentment" toward those choosing not to support him, emphasizing his actions were guided by principles rather than an "expectation of praise, gratitude or reciprocity."
- Charges against the former governor include an allegation that he tapped the phone calls of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, while the court has postponed his N1bn suit against the ICPC, the AGF, and the police.
- El-Rufai asserted he would rather remain true to his principles than allow others to redefine his conduct, stating he leaves judgment to "Almighty Allah" and posterity regarding adversity he faces.
