Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has claimed that his political rivals intend to arrest, detain and torture him in a dungeon in the National Security Adviser’s (NSA) office.

However, El-Rufai declared that he would not be deterred by such threats from any source.

The former governor went on to say that similar threats had also been made against his friends, family, and political connections.

El-Rufai claimed in a message on Tuesday through his X platform account that his opponents are planning to have him go into self-exile, but he will not grant their wishes.

He claims that he has suspended all academic programs and is prepared to take on the criticism from his rivals by investing more time in Nigeria.

According to ZINGTIE, After receiving a threat from an ally, Imran Wakili, that he would be arrested anytime he returned to Nigeria, El-Rufai erupted.

However, the former governor stated that he fears no one but Allah. He also mentioned that he has been imprisoned multiple times in the past and that life goes on since, in his opinion, quiet is no longer golden.

The full statement by El-Rufai titled ‘DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY. WHAT WILL BE WILL BE,’ reads:

“Dear Imran @IU_Wakilii,

“Your post below refers. I have been hearing these same rumors of arrest, detention and torture in some dungeon in the NSA’s office (where Emefiele was allegedly tortured to resign as CBN governor), since July 2024 when the so-called report of the Kaduna Assembly began circulating.

“They freaked out when we challenged the legality of the premeditated defamation, and went to every length to compromise the judicial process, and this is continuing at the Court of Appeal.

“They have sent such similar messages of intimidation and threats through many of my friends, family and political associates because they want me to go on self-imposed exile.

“I will not.

“I have now put all my previous academic and language-learning plans on hold and will spend more time in Nigeria than ever before. Silence is no longer golden. Inaction has never been an option.

“The arrest, detention and torture of perceived political enemies are nothing new in human affairs. I have been arrested and detained thrice in the past for expressing my views of previous governments.

“There is always a morning after the arrest or detention or torture, and political life continues. As for death, it when Allah destines it, and it is ultimate the date of every human.

“For the attention of the pathetic characters that don’t sleep well whenever I am in Nigeria, take notice that I intend to return in time for the launch of Pres IBB’s memoirs, in sha Allah, scheduled for 20th February.

“We depend on no one but Allah. We fear no mortal but Almighty Allah. We always hope for the best but plan for the worst.

“Thanks @IU_Wakilii for your concern, but, remember that what will be, will always be.”
