Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai Has Fingered National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu As The ‘Brain’ Behind His Attempted Arrest At The Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, On Thursday After Returning From A Trip To Cairo, Egypt.

Speaking To Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Who Paid A Solidarity Visit To Him Last Night At His Residence, El-Rufai Revealed That The ICPC And DSS Not EFCC Operatives Accosted And Tried To Whisk Him Away.

In His Words; “It Turned Out That It’s The ICPC That Procured DSS To Abduct Me And Handed Me Over To Them. The ICPC Has Never Invited Me. We Just Understand That It’s ICPC Not EFCC That’s Responsible For What Happened Today And The ICPC Chairman Is Acting Of The Direct Order Of Nuhu Ribadu.”

In Response, Atiku Sympathized With Him Adding That They Must Build A Viable Opposition To Fight President Tinubu In 2027.

“We Must Come Together And Form A Very Viable Opposition Because Tinubu Is Determined To Turn Nigeria Into A One-Party System.”

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has affirmed Chief Emmanuel Amushie as the authentic Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Imo State.

This confirmation comes amidst a leadership tussle within the party, with another faction led by Prof. James Okoroma claiming to be the legitimate leadership.

Amushie, who was recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stated that his leadership was constitutionally constituted and legally valid. The ADC national leadership has also weighed in on the matter, with some officials backing Amushie’s claim.

Atiku Abubakar, who recently joined the ADC, has been working to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 elections. The party has been experiencing internal conflicts, with multiple factions vying for control.

This confirmation comes after a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, where ADC coalition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, and other prominent politicians, discussed the party’s leadership and strategy.
