Bello El-Rufai Reveals Politicians Supporting His Father
Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, who represents Kaduna North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, revealed that several notable politicians contacted him concerning the detention and legal issues of his father, Nasir El-Rufai, the former Kaduna State Governor. Among those who reached out were former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Bello expressed gratitude, particularly towards Peter Obi, who consistently checked on his father despite their past political disagreements. Nasir El-Rufai has been in custody since February 2026, following an investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
His legal challenges include allegations of financial offenses and a case from the Department of State Services regarding unlawful interception of communications involving National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu. El-Rufai has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which have led to ongoing legal proceedings.
