PRESS RELEASE:
DON’T
INTIMIDATE EL-RUFAI: MURIC TELLS FG – MURIC
The former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir
El-Rufai, yesterday disclosed that there were rumours that the Federal
Government (FG) was planning to arrest him.
Reacting to the development, an Islamic human
rights organization, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has advised FG against
intimidating the former governor. The group argues that doing so will stain the
good name of the Tinubu administration as a democratic government.
The full statement reads:
“The former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir
El-Rufai, yesterday disclosed that there were rumours that the Federal
Government (FG) was planning to arrest him (https://crimechannels.com/tinubus-govt-planning-to-arrest-detain-me-el-rufai-cries-out/).
“Considering the immense contribution of former Governor
El-Rufai to the victory of the ruling party at the 2023 general elections as
well as the big role played by him in the emergence of President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu as the indisputable occupant of Aso Rock today in spite of all odds, we
will like to advise FG against intimidating the former governor if the rumour
is true.
“Doing so will stain the good
name of the Tinubu administration as a democratic government and portray it as one
willing to crack down on dissent. On the contrary, with the realization that we
now live in a global village, allowing El-Rufai to move freely in and out of
the country will continue to earn FG humongous modicum of respect from the rest
of the world.”
