I am a Christian, I am not Fulani. I am supporting Atiku and I am going the whole hog. He is not a Christian and he is not my tribe. I am supporting neither on tribal nor religious grounds. He is the most competent for the job and I am supporting him to win this 4 a better Naija.

…he sees is not what he thought it would be, & that if he had known what he now knows, he would’ve acted differently. I think Seyi Makinde is a very brilliant guy who has great ideas. Prolly too naive in 2023. He said a Unified Candidate by the opposition is NONNEGOTIABLE. 3/3

…power but also staying alive after elections to ensure the sustenance of Democracy, His Excellency responded that although he worked against his party out of the conviction that the South deserved their time after 8 years of power in the North. He also said what….2/3

SOMEWHERE AT THE HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL After telling His Excellency I was disappointed when he decided to betray his own party and asking about the lessons he learned from that action, after suggesting that they help build an opposition that is not merely about grabbing…1/3

@Diplomat_01 @Rasheethe Hmmm! Maybe what is happening to him is someone’s answered prayer because he did the same when he was in power. I am not feeling any sympathy for him but I am worried about our institution which he abused himself as Governor and which the present government is abusing now

Those behind this will end in shame Insha Allah 🙏

@MuyiwaAdekeye Hard to sympathize with El-Rufai! What is happening to him has the texture of witch-hunt but this was his own playbook. I hope he learns from this. He brought in APC, fought Atiku to bring in Tinubu…dealt mercilessly with critics in Kaduna and worse…hard to sympathize.

El-Rufai issues public alert Malam Nasir El-Rufai wishes to alert the public to certain malicious orchestrations directed against him. The unwarranted effort to arrest him upon his arrival at Abuja Airport from Cairo on 12 February 2026 served as a clear signal of more troubling developments to follow. On 16 February 2026, Malam El-Rufai honoured an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He was detained, then transferred to the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on the night of 18 February. He remains in detention and has been arraigned in two separate high courts. On 18 April 2026, The Nation newspaper published a report headlined “El-Rufai’s trial: Gunmen invade principal witness home.” The article stated that Mohammed Umar Karage, a witness in the criminal proceedings at the Kaduna State High Court, had reported to the police that armed individuals had invaded his residence. While it is the civic duty of every citizen to report crimes to the authorities, it is an entirely different matter to publish false imputations against others. The Nation proceeded to do precisely that by including innuendos suggestive of a plot to frame Malam Nasir El-Rufai. According to the report, Mr. Karage linked the incident to his role as a witness in the corruption charges against El-Rufai—specifically one of the nine counts involving the alleged unlawful revocation and reallocation of land. The article further quoted Mr. Karage as alleging that the invasion might be part of an effort to silence him, drawing parallels with the controversial disappearance of Kaduna-based activist Abubakar Idris Dadiyata. Any objective reader would recognise the clear intent behind these statements: to smear Malam Nasir El-Rufai’s reputation, jeopardise his pending bail application at the Kaduna State High Court, and implicate him in serious capital offences. The evident objective is to secure his indefinite detention through these reprehensible tactics. Such conduct is unacceptable, particularly toward a citizen who has made substantial contributions to our country. Malam Nasir El-Rufai is an upstanding and law-abiding citizen who has no connection whatsoever to the incidents described in The Nation’s publication. Therefore, he has already instructed his legal team to initiate defamation proceedings in this matter. Since 2023, Malam El-Rufai has been subjected to an appalling and sustained campaign of innuendos and vilification. This is a man with a distinguished record of public service. Many will recall his sterling service to the cause of national unity through his principled opposition to opportunism, alongside other senior leaders, during the events leading to the 2022 primaries of the ruling party and thereafter. The rule of law must never be perverted into a tool of oppression. Legal processes should serve the ends of justice, not be employed to deny a citizen his fundamental right to liberty while he stands trial. Malam Nasir El-Rufai should be accorded full due process guaranteed by law to every citizen, and the persistent disregard for his rights must cease immediately. Signed Muyiwa Adekeye Media Adviser to Malam Nasir El-Rufai 19 April 2026

Unless Government is Complicit in the evil happening to innocent Nigerians, the idea of rewarding terrorists in the name of “repentant Terrorists” is NO NO NO

@Senderfo @adeyanjudeji He may well be. Don’t vouch for anyone

@adeyanjudeji If not because of you, I would have said you're working for Tinubu .

All the ADC candidates should team up against Atiku to produce a candidate but it must never be Obi, ElRufai or Malami. Any other person in the opposition is ok.

@adeyanjudeji @jajuwonsimi See this guy with his bitterness. He is the one that gives many people hope in the coalition. You have no good argument against him, just unfounded hatred.

@davidotoef @omarladan_ Absolutely!

@omarladan_ If you think it’s normal to kill someone for speaking ill of your prophet that died ages ago then you’re not human , you’re an animal ! And may it not be well with you and your so called prophet !

These senseless people who are tagging the DSS to arrest the sheikh who gave that ₦1 million should redirect their energy toward asking the DSS to arrest the pastor instead. Wallahi, if the world were to end today in the process of standing against blasphemy, no true Muslim would have a problem with that. We are ready to give our lives for it. Because when it comes to the Prophet, I can tell you for a fact that the hearts of all Muslims, regardless of sect, are united. You may do many things and still walk freely, but blasphemy is something that can easily cause serious unrest in this country. I can also tell you for a fact that you will never find a Muslim who mocks or insults Prophet Jesus (AS), as some of you even do. Because if someone does that, they are not even a complete Muslim. Our religion, the Qur’an, and our beloved Prophet define our lives and guide how we conduct ourselves on this earth amd the next So shift your energy toward calling for the arrest of that pastor. There can be no peace where blasphemy exists.

@omarladan_ Has he not been arrested yet?

@SimplyTEEWHY @SamboMaiHula The whole of Kaduna shouldn’t be an issue. Break it down to the number of Representatives we have. Just 16 of them bro. So if the “whole” sounds too big, then focus on 16.

@WachorZ @SamboMaiHula Again, I don't think I have disputed any of this with you. My concern was the submission about "the whole of Kaduna" part

Bello Elrufa’i, a coward as I have always said, failed to renew his APC ticket. However, we discovered his name on the delegates’ papers of ADC. Unlike his father, he lacks the courage to follow in his footsteps or announce his move to ADC instead of engaging in anti-party activities. Please give Kaduna North to Abdul’aziz Kaka, not this arrogant and imposed boy.

@emmaikumeh @MyksonDosSantos So you mean that the country cannot ensure security for the citizens of other countries in your country? That is not a useful thing to say. It is very very bad messaging. You seem to suggest that there are “Iranian sympathizers that can bomb places, even embassies, in Nigeria?

“America closed her embassy in Nigeria because of bombing from Iran. So they reduced their staff incase Iran attacks their embassy” Akpabio He talks anyhow, I wonder how he became the Senate President..

@SimplyTEEWHY @SamboMaiHula Honestly, the young man is one guy who can win re-election on any platform on the back of his own records, so long as elections are free and fair. If you are not from Kaduna, keep watch and see what his constituents think of him. I am from Southern Kaduna but this guy is solid.

@WachorZ @SamboMaiHula You said the whole of Kaduna. I'm not sure you have engaged constituents of others to make such conclusion. That's just me thinking though

@SimplyTEEWHY @SamboMaiHula Are you from Kaduna?

@SimplyTEEWHY @SamboMaiHula The metric is that I am his constituent and I don’t like the young man but he has proven most of his septics wrong including me. Ask his constituents and see. So, the metrics? Performance vis-a-vis the rest of his colleagues from the state. He is unlike his father, to me.

@WachorZ @SamboMaiHula LMAOOO. What is the metric of this submission?

@gbemiro @ZariyiYusufu We won’t! That is not what makes Christianity a relationship that attracts. It is not the emotions of men that guide the direction for Christians, it is the example of Christ.

@ZariyiYusufu Until Christians have their own resistant group, this madness won't stop. If anything happens to the pastor, this man also MUST pay with his life.

The Islamic cleric who placed a million naira bounty on the head of the pastor accused of blasphemy has restated his resolve: “…whoever fulfills that requirement (beh3ading the pastor), I swear to Allah I’ll give him that money (one million naira), no retreat… we have nothing to lose if after beh3ading this pastor Arewa plunges into chaos…” Is it not amazing how sheer hate and incitement to violence is spewed with so much zeal and utmost disregard to constituted authority! Well, let’s pretend the government/security agencies of this “secular state” don’t know about this.

@ZariyiYusufu @KonradEthihel You allow this criminal to move freely? Unbelievable!

@festus1501 Who is this idiot?

Some Northern Governors, Senators and Ministers are supporting ADC, we know them, we know you, if you don't stop, we will mention your names

@festus1501 Illiteracy is such an opium, it confers stupidity in the name of courage! This is unbelievable
