Asake Critiques El-Rufai's Governance Amid Suffering in Kaduna

Asake, a legal practitioner and former national legal adviser of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), has publicly criticized former Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai for his governance under the All Progressives Congress (APC). He claims that the citizens are suffering due to the policies and actions of the APC, which he argues have led to economic hardship and insecurity.

Asake specifically addresses El-Rufai's recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), suggesting that it reflects a broader issue of accountability within the government. He also highlights El-Rufai's admission during a television interview regarding the illegal tapping of phones by national security advisors, which raises serious concerns about the rule of law and the integrity of Nigeria's security institutions.

Asake warns that the current political climate fosters public distrust and calls for equal application of justice, emphasizing that no individual, regardless of their political influence, should be above legal scrutiny.
