El-Rufai Raises Alarm Over Potential Arrest Amid Political Tensions

Former Kaduna State Governor El-Rufai has raised concerns about a potential arrest, citing the recent arrests of four individuals. He accuses the APC-led federal government of planning his arrest amidst escalating political tensions in the country.

El-Rufai, a former APC chieftain, claims that there is pressure on politicians to either defect to the ruling party or remain within its fold. This comes as he intensifies his criticism of President Bola Tinubu's administration within the APC.

The former governor's remarks signal deepening political friction within his party, which he served for eight years before defecting. The political landscape is further complicated by ongoing trials involving former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, who faces accusations of abuse of office and money laundering.

Malami, a key opposition figure, has denied the allegations, describing them as a political witch hunt.
