Asiya El-Rufai Appeals to Tinubu for Husband's Fair Treatment
Hajiya Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, made an emotional appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday night, urging him to ensure her husband is treated fairly during his detention. Asiya highlighted that El-Rufai's personal physician, Prof. Bello Abubakar, has been denied access to him for over 24 hours, raising concerns about his health issues, including high blood pressure and high blood sugar.
She emphasized that their family is not seeking to interfere with the judicial process but is requesting basic human rights guaranteed by the constitution. Asiya recalled her husband's role in Tinubu's 2023 election campaign and expressed that the family deserves empathy.
She called for the court to grant El-Rufai bail, allowing him to prepare his defense adequately, and stressed the psychological impact of the current situation on their family, describing it as a form of psychological warfare.
