The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai is in the news again for the wrong reason.
His posters are in strategic locations, particularly at Eagle Square, Central Business District, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Asiwaju Support Group is accusing El-Rufai of subversive activities against the Nigerian state.
Some of the posters with El-Rufai picture boldly displayed by the group read:
“DSS, invite El-Rufai for interrogation over his foreign activities targeted at the Bola Tinubu administration”.
El-Rufai STOP your subversive activities against the Bola Tinubu administration”.
El-Rufai needs no introduction when it comes to the politics of Nigeria considering the role he played in the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) Tinubu’s eventual election in the 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai mobilized Northern governors to insist that the candidate of the party must come from the southern part of the country to succeed Muhammadu Buhari who came from the North.
His influence within his colleagues then helped Tinubu’s cause greatly.
Tinubu tried to reward his contribution by nominating for appointment as minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Unfortunately, El-Rufai could not scale through security and Senate screening.
All that is history now. Asiwaju Support Group is calling for El-Rufai’s interrogation for subversion.
It will be recalled that as soon as El-Rufai lost our in his bid to be a minister, he turned round to say he was no longer interested in the job again.
He tried to bring his own replacement, but it brought a disagreement between him and his successor, Governor Uba Sani.
El-Rufai soon left the country and has practically relocated to Egypt. And now this call from the Asiwaju Support Group for his interrogation.
