A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has recalled warning former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai that he might be jailed over the way he carried himself.
Galadima said he visited the NDC presidential running mate,
Rabiu Kwankwaso and begged him to stop El-Rufai from returning to Nigeria from
Egypt after he was indicted.
Featuring on Naija Unfiltered Podcast, Galadima insisted
that El-Rufai is suffering from what he did to others.
He said: “Tinubu and his people are ingrates as far as
El-Rufai is concerned. I’m not the best friend of El-Rufai.
“In fact, I advised him that he should be careful of the way
he carries himself, that he either goes on exile or they will jail him.
“I went and met Kwankwaso and told Kwankwaso that he should
beg El-Rufai not to come back. These people do not mean well to him.”
The NDC chieftain accused President Bola Tinubu and his
associates of having a disposition of ingratitude towards El-Rufai.
El-Rufai was initially arrested and detained by the
Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, on
February 18, 2026 after arriving Nigeria from Egypt.
He faced multiple additional charges, re-arrests, remands by
both the ICPC and the Department of State Services, DSS, regarding corruption,
contract fraud, cybercrime, and phone-tapping allegations involving the
National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu.
On May 18, the Abuja Federal High Court presided over by
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik granted him a N100 million bail, in the case filed by
the DSS.
El-Rufai is still in custody due to his inability to meet
the stringent bail by Justice Abdulmalik.
