Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has declared that he could be picked up by authorities at any moment, alleging sustained pressure from the APC-led Federal Government.
Speaking during an interview with BBC Hausa on Wednesday, the former governor, now a key figure in the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of coercing politicians to either defect to the party or remain loyal to it.
El-Rufai, who governed Kaduna State for eight years on the APC platform but has recently become a vocal critic of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, claimed that some of his former associates have already been arrested.
“Four people we worked with in Kaduna have been arrested; so it’s only a matter of time before they come for me too,” he stated.
His comments come amid the arrest and ongoing trial of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, further heightening political tensions within the ruling party and the broader opposition landscape.
