Speaking to journalists at their home in Abuja on Tuesday, Asia said the family supported Tinubu strongly during the 2023 election campaign. She explained that they worked hard in Kaduna State and stood by him, but now the family is going through a lot of stress.
She made it clear that they are not asking the president to stop the court case or interfere with the law. Instead, they want basic rights for El-Rufai, such as proper medical care, access to his lawyers and family, and bail that he can meet. “If he is guilty, let the court decide. If innocent, let the court decide too,” she said.
Seated by her side was Aichatou, another of El-Rufai's. The family said they live in constant fear and have faced trauma from the situation.
Nasir El-Rufai has been in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) since February over claims of financial issues from his time as governor.
His case is still in court.

Make una allow the court do their work, what makes her think her husband would not be treated fairly, shebi na the same law applies to all citizens of Nigeria. Abeg leave Mr President alone , no dey use reverse psychology on us,

DeleteMadam, when he was treating others unfairly, did you speak up?
ReplyDeleteOnye iberibe with selective requests 🙄
Such is life.Who would have thought that the strongman of Kaduna can be behind bars?
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile,that his son that insults anyone and everyone has been very quiet.
The executive has nothing to do with the current issue. He was rightly charged with the words of his mouth and the judge has given the conditions for bail. There's nothing the federal executive can do to influence or waive his bail conditions. In a country facing serious insecurity challenges, claiming to be tapping the phone of the NSA is a serious offense. He should be suing his own mouth for such an error and it makes sense for further investigation to find and jail the technical people contracted for what may be considered a treasonous offense.
ReplyDelete3 out of 16 LGAs, one of which the president visited himself, is not enough reason to be demanding a favor outside the provisions of legal procedure.
The doctor got too excited, it seems. If the government agency is claiming he was doing more than providing medical care, they have a right to see how they can modify his access.
