While former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai may have expressed his views differently, the African Democratic Congress sees this as part of a larger trend, according to Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s national publicity secretary.
Abdullahi made the remarks during an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, regarding the question of whether El-Rufai’s statement made on television was improper.
Yhey are always on the lookout for situations like that, therefore we believe that someone who has been hunted would have phrased the comment differently, as he put it. It’s as if a top player were sent off. You diminished the team’s strength. ”
But we are watching the case strongly because he made a statement and there are laws guiding statements like that,” he said, adding that the party is keeping a close eye on the judicial process and expects due process to be followed. Of course, we are well aware that such laws must be upheld.
We will discover there is nothing to it when the investigations are complete, we are sure of it. “No, it’s part of it,” Abdullahi said when asked if the new information should be considered independently of previous accusations of political targeting.
Some would argue that he intentionally hurt himself. No, he merely made a passing remark that provided an excuse for their lifelong dream. We need to make that very obvious.
I know Malam Nasir El-Rufai very well,” he said, assuring the public that he had faith in the former governor’s intentions and pleading for patience during the probe. When he says things like that, I always understand him. We will not pass judgement on him throughout the investigation, and I will know that by then.See_More…
