Presidency accuses El-Rufai of creating tension, diverting attention

Presidency accuses former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai of creating political tension and diverting attention from his corruption allegations. Senior Special Assistant Temitope Ajayi stated El-Rufai is manufacturing unrest to project himself as a victim while facing domestic corruption charges in Kaduna. The ex-governor's recent actions, including slamming the APC-led government and triggering DSS arrest attempts at Abuja airport, are seen as deliberate misinformation to nationalize his problems. Nigerians are unlikely to support El-Rufai over corruption claims. This follows his accusations against NSA Ribadu regarding toxic chemical imports from Poland.
