Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has stated that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress, ADC, made a “great mistake” by turning himself in to security agencies.
Dalung made the remark while suggesting that the Nigerian
government fears the former Kaduna State governor, which, according to him, led
to his arrest and detention.
Speaking in an interview with Trust TV, Dalung claimed that
the authorities had first tried to arrest El-Rufai at the airport but failed to
do so.
He said: “The government is really afraid of El-Rufai, which
is why they believed he might take some action, so they decided to arrest him.”
The former minister said they understood that trying to
catch El-Rufai could cause an uprising.
“El-Rufai chose to minimize his role and give himself up,
which was the biggest mistake he made as a fellow member.
“Comrades don’t surrender. If you give up during a fight,
you will end up feeling ashamed. It’s an established principle in struggle.
When they strive to achieve something, they become very careful,” he said.
