Atiku Abubakar Appoints El-Rufai as ADC Campaign Deputy
Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), discussed Atiku Abubakar's appointment of Nasir El-Rufai as the deputy chairman of his campaign council during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’. This decision, made ahead of the 2027 elections, was to honor El-Rufai's sacrifices, as he is currently detained.
Momodu stated that El-Rufai's situation is politically motivated, noting that he returned to Nigeria knowing he would be arrested. He criticized the harsh bail conditions imposed on El-Rufai, suggesting that even his adversaries would find them excessive.
Momodu also remarked on El-Rufai's significant role in the political landscape, asserting that without him, President Bola Tinubu might not be in office today. The campaign council was unveiled on Thursday, with Kashim Ibrahim-Imam named as chairman.
