The Africa Democratic Congress, ADC, has vowed to hold President Bola Tinubu personally accountable if anything happens to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai while he is in custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.
ADC spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the remark while insisting that El-Rufai is being held in detention as a political prisoner.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday night, the ADC spokesman said El-Rufai has a medical issue that needs to be properly addressed by a doctor.
He said, “Now, having said that, this person has a medical condition. You may not intend it. But if you don’t let this person be, if you don’t let Malam Nasir El-Rufai get the medical help he needed, then you are not helping him.
“According to the report we received from his family, he was at the National Hospital a few days ago, and the hospital told them he should be kept under watch because his health was getting worse.
“We have said it, and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, our presidential candidate, has also said it. If something happens to Malam Nasir El-Rufai while he is in custody, President Bola Tinubu will be personally accountable because the responsibility ultimately falls on him.
“We are saying that there is a political prisoner in Nigeria right now, and his name is Malam Nasir El-Rufai.”
