The Nigerian government is allegedly planning to prosecute opposition personalities in the country, according to the Social Democratic Party, or SDP.

The SDP asserted in a statement issued by Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba, its National Publicity Secretary, that the government led by the All Progressives Congress, or APC, had finalized plans to bring criminal charges against Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State.

El-Rufai joined the SDP a few days ago after defecting from the ruling APC, according to ZINGTIE.

In order to scare the opposition and stop more defections, the ruling party allegedly planned to ban El-Rufai from leaving Nigeria, according to the statement.

The statement says, in part: “The SDP has received reliable information that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is concerned about the momentum of our party.

“In response, the APC has leveraged its governmental control to fabricate criminal charges against our members.

“Our sources revealed that the persecution will commence with one of our prominent leaders, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

“The government is planning to file multiple charges against him in Abuja and Kaduna imminently.

“In preparation for this, we have also learned that the federal government has instructed its agencies to prevent Mallam Nasir El-Rufai from leaving the country.”
