Paul Ibe, a media aide to Africa Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has lamented that former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has spent 126 days in detention.
Ibe said El-Rufai’s detention has shown that President Bola
Tinubu’s administration is harassing and intimidating the former governor for
defecting from the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Posting on his Facebook page, Ibe described El-Rufai’s
ongoing trial as a sham.
He wrote: “Yesterday marked day 126 of the abduction and
detention of Mallam Nasir el-Rufai @elrufai, former Governor of Kaduna State
and chieftain of the @ADCNig.
“By now, it should be clear to all, irrespective of
political leaning that the Tinubu-led APC administration is harassing and
intimidating el-Rufai for having parted ways with the APC.
“The sham trial of the ADC chieftain is politically
motivated. We’ve gathered from those asking him to go and make “peace”
(whatever that means) with President Bola Tinubu, because he (Tinubu) is
allegedly focused on keeping him until after the 2027 elections.
“The adjournment of his case to September appears to confirm
this. Meanwhile, the conditions of the bail granted to el-Rufai is too punitive
and meant to keep him perpetually in detention.
“In fact, the bail conditions only encourages civil servants
to loot maximally and acquire assets and properties at all cost while in
service.”
