Former Kaduna Governor El-Rufai to Return to Nigeria Amid Corruption Speculations

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai is set to return to Nigeria within 48 hours after being in self-exile. Speculations suggest he may face arrest upon his return due to corruption allegations.

El-Rufai, a key figure in Nigerian politics, has denied any wrongdoing and described the investigations against him as politically motivated. He played a significant role in the APC and was considered a potential presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.

El-Rufai's relationship with the party deteriorated, leading to his exit and subsequent joining of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). His successor, Uba Sani, initiated a probe into his administration, challenging the outcome in court.
