Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has alleged that Nuhu Ribadu is behind moves to have him arrested, making the claim in a message directed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
In his remarks, El-Rufai suggested that certain political forces are working to intimidate or silence him through legal or security channels. He claimed that the alleged plan is politically motivated and aimed at undermining his growing influence and outspoken stance on national issues.
Addressing Atiku, El-Rufai reportedly outlined his concerns about what he described as attempts to use state institutions for political ends. He argued that the situation reflects broader tensions within Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly as alignments and rivalries intensify ahead of future elections.
El-Rufai did not provide detailed evidence to support the allegation but maintained that he has credible information indicating that efforts are being made to target him. He insisted that he has committed no offense warranting arrest and described the alleged moves as harassment.
There has been no immediate official response from Ribadu regarding the accusation. Political observers note that the development highlights ongoing frictions among prominent figures within Nigeria’s political sphere, where alliances and disagreements continue to shape public discourse.
Supporters of El-Rufai have called for transparency and due process, while critics have urged caution, emphasizing the need for verifiable facts before drawing conclusions. As of now, the matter remains a subject of political debate, with many awaiting further clarification from the individuals involved or relevant authorities.
