I may be arrested anytime soon– El-Rufai

Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has said he fears he could be arrested at any moment by the APC-led Federal Government.

Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa on Wednesday, El-Rufai, now a leading figure in the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of putting pressure on politicians to either defect to the party or remain loyal to it.

The former governor, who has recently stepped up his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the APC the party under which he governed Kaduna State for eight years revealed that some of his close associates have already been detained.

“Four people we worked with in Kaduna have been arrested; so it’s only a matter of time before they come for me too,” he said.

His comments come amid the arrest and ongoing trial of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
