Bashir El-Rufai Defends Father Against Phone Tapping Claims

Bashir El-Rufai stated that his father, Nasir El-Rufai, did not tap anyone's phone, addressing allegations that have surfaced. He clarified that his father did not initiate any phone tapping and urged the public to refrain from misrepresenting the issue, which he believes is causing unnecessary trouble.

Bashir mentioned that the information regarding the phone tapping was shared unsolicited by someone else, and he emphasized that there was no intent to help put his father in prison. He specifically called out Bayo Onanuga, who is a presidential aide, regarding the strategic investigation comments made by the former governor.

Bashir's remarks come in light of previous statements made by Nasir El-Rufai during a live television conversation about NSA Nuhu Ribadu's phone. He urged people to stop attempting to implicate his father in these allegations.
