El-Rufai Claims Government Seeks His Arrest Politically

Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, revealed in an interview with BBC Hausa that the Nigerian government is attempting to arrest him for political reasons. He stated that upon his return from Egypt, he felt uncomfortable due to the government's stance and noted that there is no real case against him.

El-Rufai emphasized that his political struggles are ongoing and expressed his determination to remain engaged in Nigerian politics. He indicated that the government would prefer he stays abroad to avoid arrest, but he remains committed to his political activities and will not be deterred by these challenges.

His comments come amid a broader political struggle in Nigeria, highlighting the tensions surrounding his return to the country.
