“You’ll Be Liable If Anything Happens To El-Rufai” – Atiku Abubakar To Tinubu

Nasir El Rufai

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has warned that the Federal Government would be held accountable if any harm comes to Nasir El-Rufai. Recall that the former Kaduna State Governor is currently in custody after voluntarily honouring an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on February 16.

Reacting, Atiku revealed that El-Rufai’s health and well-being are a matter of serious concern to his family, friends and associates, so the Federal Government must clearly state which agency is currently holding him hostage.

He added that if government agencies are unable to safeguard Nasir’s health and fundamental rights, the humane option would be to grant him bail immediately.

His words, “Secrecy in matters of detention only fuels suspicion. Nigerians deserve transparency.

Whichever agency is responsible has a constitutional duty to guarantee his safety, dignity, access to medical care, and access to his family and legal representatives.

If anything happens to El-Rufai, this government will be held accountable.

More troubling, however, is the growing perception of selective prosecution, in which opposition figures are aggressively pursued while others are conspicuously shielded from investigation or interrogation.

The rule of law must apply to all; without fear, without favour, and without political bias.”

WOW.
