- El-Rufai disclosed the Ribadu is plotting to destroy him by tarnishing his reputation and besmirching his character
The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, says the campaign of calumny against him is being orchestrated by Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser to President Bola Tinubu.
El-Rufai disclosed that Ribadu is plotting to destroy him by tarnishing his reputation and besmirching his character.
El-Rufai, who made the disclosure on Arise TV on Monday night, stated that he and Ribadu are no long friends.
He also alleged that Ribadu is nursing a presidential ambition and he is ready to get rid of any potential competition from the North.
El-Rufai said: “Ribadu is behind the project to destroy El-Rufai and my reputation.
“But so far, it has been frustrating for them. They have not found anything to use against me.
“So they are now going to lower-level officers who worked with me, trying to convince them to implicate me in exchange for having their problems resolved.
“The ICPC is now a charade. The EFCC is more professional.
“I swear to you and to God, I have not taken a penny that I was not supposed to. In fact, as governor, my deputy and I donated 50% of our entitlements, and I have records to prove it.
“Ribadu wants to be President of Nigeria, and his plan is to eliminate every Northerner who appears to be competition.”
