El-Rufai's Arrest Sparks Criticism from PDP's Jacob

Mark Jacob, a former legal adviser to the People's Democratic Party (PDP), has publicly criticized Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, regarding the political situation in Nigeria. Jacob accused El-Rufai of imposing a government that has led to widespread suffering among the populace.

He highlighted El-Rufai's recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as a significant event, suggesting that it reflects the broader issues of governance and accountability in Nigeria. Jacob stressed that the suffering of citizens, particularly civil servants in Kaduna State, is a direct result of the actions taken by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, which El-Rufai was part of.

He called for a serious legal examination of El-Rufai's actions, particularly concerning allegations of illegal surveillance and the need for equal application of the law. Jacob's statements underscore the growing public distrust in political institutions and the urgent need for reform in Nigeria's governance.
