Middle Belt Forum Disassociates from El-Rufai Over Southern Kaduna Comments

The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) has distanced itself from aligning with former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai following his comments on Southern Kaduna. The MBF warned political actors against giving El-Rufai a prominent role, as it may lead to losing votes in the region in the 2023 elections.

The forum emphasized its commitment to advocating for equity and transparent governance. This move signifies a rift between the MBF and El-Rufai, with the forum prioritizing the interests of the Southern Kaduna people over political affiliations.
