Watch how this Islam Cleric is praising Mallam Nasiru El-Rufa'i and claiming he has integrity. He also claimed that he is not aware of El-Rufai's integrity till when Uba Sani said it.
Mallam is indeed a great man!
The Bitter Paradox of Bail: How the Court Rendered Freedom Impossible for Mallam Nasir El-Rufai Yet Granted Easier Terms to Yahaya Bello
In a nation that claims fidelity to the rule of law, recent developments have once again exposed a troubling imbalance in the administration of justice. The bail conditions imposed on Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai go far beyond strict, they appear structurally unattainable. Requiring sureties of ₦100 million each, tied to Grade Level 17 federal civil servants with verified properties in Maitama or Asokoro and significant financial capacity, raises a fundamental question: is this bail designed for compliance, or for continued restriction under another name?
When contrasted with the treatment of Yahaya Bello, the disparity becomes even more striking. A man facing EFCC cases reportedly running into over ₦190 billion, and who publicly resisted arrest, was granted bail conditions that were considerably more attainable. Meanwhile, another who submitted himself within the legal framework is confronted with terms that even the highest-ranking civil servants would struggle to satisfy. This is not a minor inconsistency, it is a contradiction that demands scrutiny.
Justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done. Bail is a constitutional safeguard, not a punitive instrument. When conditions effectively deny that right, the system risks replacing due process with selective application. This is no longer just about individuals, it is about the integrity of the legal system and the confidence of citizens who depend on it for fairness.
For the El-Rufai Live movement, this moment underscores a deeper concern about equal treatment under the law. Nigerians are watching closely, not just the legal arguments, but the signals being sent about accountability, consistency, and institutional independence. When standards appear to shift depending on the individual, trust begins to erode.
We remain resolute in our call for fairness rooted in principle, not preference. Bail must remain a right accessible within reason, not an obstacle constructed beyond reach. The law must speak with one voice, not different tones for different people.
The Movement is Rising.
Justice Must Be Consistent.

STATEMENT ON THE PROLONGED DETENTION OF Nasir El-Rufai
It has now been 88 days since Mallam Nasir @ElRufai was taken into custody on February 16, 2026. Eighty-eight days. Nearly three months of detention without a transparent, lawful conclusion.
This is truly concerning.
The continued detention of a Nigerian citizen without a clear and timely judicial process raises serious questions about the commitment of this government to the rule of law. A system that allows prolonged custody without resolution begins to resemble arbitrariness rather than justice.
No government that claims to uphold democracy can justify keeping an individual in custody indefinitely while due process drags on without clarity. This is how public trust is eroded, when institutions appear selective, delayed, or opaque in the administration of justice.
We must demand, in the strongest possible terms, that the authorities either bring forward formal charges immediately and proceed in open court, or release him without further delay. Anything short of this is a disservice to justice and a stain on the credibility of our institutions.
Nigeria cannot afford a justice system that is perceived as slow, selective, or politically influenced.
88 days is not justice. It is a test of our nation’s commitment to fairness, and right now, that test is being failed.
Press Release: Our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai, is still being held by the ICPC. Today, 15 May 2026, we witnessed two distinct yet equally serious attacks on his basic rights. First, his personal Doctor visited the ICPC at about 3pm to discuss the results of medical tests recently conducted on our father. Officials at the agency blocked the doctor from seeing him, claiming that written permission from the ICPC Chairman was required. This directly flouts a clear court order granting Mallam Nasir El‑Rufai unrestricted access to his doctors.
Second, his wife, Aunty Aichatou, brought his evening meal at around 7pm as she normally does. ICPC personnel turned her away, saying they had orders not to permit food deliveries after 6:30pm. This arbitrary rule is no less offensive than blocking his right to medical care.
These acts are an outright assault on the rule of law and a clear violation of our father's constitutional and human rights. No lawful detention justifies denying medical access or refusing basic family care based on an arbitrary curfew fixed by the ICPC. Shame on them as an institution.
We demand that all his constitutional rights be fully respected. We will no longer accept this pattern of intimidation dressed up as protocol. The ICPC must abide by the very laws it claims to enforce.

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s doctor was at the ICPC today to follow up on medical tests recently taken by his patient. The doctor was prevented from seeing him by operatives who insisted that the doctor must present written approval by their chairman. This is a brazen violation of an explicit court order that Mallam Nasir @elrufai must be allowed unfettered access to his medical doctors.
In addition, I, his wife, brought his dinner as usual at about 7pm today, 15 May 2026. ICPC officials also denied me access, saying that they would not accept delivery of dinner after 6:30pm. This is just as bad as denying his right to medical visitation and we will not stand for it.

DECLARATION OF INTENT TO CONTEST FOR THE OFFICE OF
GOVERNOR, KADUNA STATE (2027)
Fellow citizens of Kaduna State,
1. I stand before you today with a deep sense of humility and responsibility to formally declare my intention to contest for the office of Governor of Kaduna State in the 2027 gubernatorial election, under the platform of our great party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
2. Kaduna State is at a critical turning point. The choices we make today will determine whether our children inherit a state of opportunity and progress or one of decline and missed chances. After careful reflection and wide consultations with party leaders, stakeholders, and citizens across our communities, I am encouraged by the strong belief in our collective ability to rebuild and move Kaduna forward again.
3. Many of those I consulted expressed confidence in my experience in public service and my connection with the grassroots. They believe, as I do, that Kaduna can rise again with the right leadership.
4. We cannot talk about the future without acknowledging the foundation laid in the past. Under the leadership of former Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State witnessed bold reforms and significant progress. There was a clear vision, strong political will, and a commitment to building for the next generation.
5. However, it is clear to many of us today that this momentum is dead! The reality on our streets, in our institutions, and in our communities tells a different story. We see growing concerns about governance, limited engagement with opposition voices, and a weakening of the systems that once drove progress and accountability.
6. My mission is not only to restore that sense of purpose and direction but to improve on it. I will build on past achievements to create a more sustainable and resilient economy. I will prioritize job creation, support our youth and entrepreneurs, and ensure that development reaches every part of our beloved State.
7. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) offers a credible platform for unity, progress, and inclusive leadership. We are not starting from scratch; we are building on experience while bringing a renewed focus on fairness, empathy, and good governance.
8. I therefore call on members of all political parties and indeed all well-meaning citizens of Kaduna State who are concerned about our future, to join us on this journey. This is not just a political movement; it is a collective effort to reclaim the promise of our state. Let us strive to build a state where leadership is defined by competence, integrity, and service.
9. Thank you, and may God bless Kaduna State.

An Open Letter to the Executive Governor of Kaduna State: The Siege of One Family vs. The Rights of a Citizen.
Your Excellency,
The primary mandate of any government is the welfare of its people and the upholding of the rule of law. However, in Kaduna today, the line between state prosecution and the involvement of a private family in your predecessor's ordeal become dangerously blurred.
We must address the elephant in the room.
The Brotherhood of Persecution.
The Quadruple Threat: Why A Family Monopoly on Justice?
It is a statistical impossibility to ignore the fact that four biological brothers from one single family are the primary engines propelling the current ordeal of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
1. The Legal Architect.
One brother sits within your legal team, drafting the strategy.
2. The Former EFCC Enforcer.
Another brother, with ties to federal investigative history, provides the blueprint.
3. The Anti-Graft Chief.
A third brother heads the very agency leading the prosecution.
4. The Political Pillar.
And now, the eldest brother, a top-tier APC stalwart, uses his high-ranking political position to actively oppose El-Rufai’s political ideals as an opposition member.
Your Excellency, where does the State end and this family begin? After all, these 4 brothers are not from Kaduna State. When the investigators, the prosecutors, the legal advisors, and the political rivals all share the same DNA (last name) and the same home, Justice is no longer the objective. The objective is a coordinated takedown as contractors or enemies out for vengeance.
For too long, the public has been misled into blaming the center. Only the north that this unfairness and share wickedness will happen and every one remains silent, not in the South.
A. Is this a directive from President Tinubu? NO.
B. Is this a design by Malam Nuhu Ribadu? NO.
While the masses are busy blaming the Presidency and the NSA, the reality is a local Kaduna affair, handled by one family (4 brothers) who are helping in your personal animosity and political rivalry between you and your predecessor. You are using the instruments of the Kaduna State Government alongside outsiders against a Kaduna State elder and a former Governor in person of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai.
A Demand for Urgent Investigation.
This is a call to the National Judicial Council (NJC), the Attorney General of the Federation, and the National Assembly:
1. How can there be a fair trial when a single family controls the entire assembly line of justice?
2. This level of nepotism in the prosecution of a former Governor is a stain on our democracy. It is not an investigation, it is a siege.
Governor Sani, the people of Kaduna are waiting for the Rural Transformation you promised, not a front-row seat to the persecution of your former boss. It is time to dismantle this Brotherhood of Prosecution and return to the path of neutral, transparent governance.
The world is watching. History will not be kind to a vendetta disguised as a trial.
Comrade, IG Wala.

The Untold Story Behind El-Rufai’s Non-Appointment
By Dare Adelekan
When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled his ministerial nominees last year, Nigerians across political divides waited eagerly to see one name on the list — Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. His name initially appeared, creating a wave of optimism that the Renewed Hope Agenda would be anchored on competence and experience rather than political compensation. But soon enough, the tide turned.
The Senate withheld his confirmation, citing a so-called “security report,” and the President quietly moved on. Yet, behind the scenes, it was clear that El-Rufai’s omission went beyond any intelligence dossier — it was political, personal, and deeply revealing of the inner workings of the Tinubu presidency.
From all credible indications, President Tinubu genuinely wanted El-Rufai in his cabinet. The grapevine within the corridors of power suggested that he was being considered for the Ministry of Power and Energy — a sector that has long suffered from inefficiency and bureaucratic rot. El-Rufai’s managerial capacity and technical acumen made him an ideal fit. His track record as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory under President Olusegun Obasanjo remains one of the most transformative episodes in Nigeria’s recent governance history. He turned Abuja into a disciplined, planned city, reasserting order and purpose with a rare sense of mission — all without the drama and theatrics that now characterize the present Federal Executive Council.
So, what happened? Why did Tinubu, a man known for recognizing talent, abandon one of the most capable administrators Nigeria has ever produced?
The answer lies in politics — the kind that thrives not on competence but on control.
El-Rufai is not a man to be tamed. He is a reformer with an independent mind, one who speaks truth to power and rarely bows to political pressure. His bluntness, often mistaken for arrogance, is in reality the expression of a disciplined technocrat who detests mediocrity. He is not one to play the sycophant’s game or indulge in the kind of hero-worship that now defines Nigeria’s political elite. In simple terms, El-Rufai could not be expected to “lick anybody’s ashy hands,” to borrow the street phrase making the rounds in political circles.
Those who know him also know he takes no nonsense. He thrives on merit, not manipulation. He does not need presidential favor to perform; he needs only a clear mandate and the freedom to execute. And therein lies the problem. Tinubu’s inner circle — a mixture of loyalists, praise-singers, and political courtiers — reportedly warned that bringing El-Rufai on board could “destabilize” the hierarchy of loyalty around the President. They argued that El-Rufai was too independent, too strong-willed, too cerebral to fit into a system that values submission over substance.
Hence, the convenient narrative of a “security report” was floated — a ready-made excuse to neutralize a man who would not be easily controlled. The truth, however, is that El-Rufai’s exclusion was not about national security but political insecurity. It was about protecting fragile egos in the corridors of power. In a cabinet where noise often substitutes for performance, and where some ministers mistake verbosity for vision, El-Rufai’s mere presence would have exposed the emptiness of many.
It is ironic that the same qualities that make El-Rufai an asset to Nigeria are the ones that have turned him into an outsider in Tinubu’s government. He is brilliant, versatile, focused, and daring — the very traits that a reform-minded government should celebrate. Instead, the presidency seems to have chosen convenience over competence.
Today, the Ministry of Power continues to grope in the dark — literally and figuratively. The Renewed Hope Agenda in that sector is still struggling to find its feet, weighed down by bureaucracy and indecision. One can only imagine what
I stand with a man whose words have always been ahead of his time. Mallam said “Unless betrayed, our loyalty and fidelity to friends are permanent and pensionable. Unless reconciled, our opposition and enmity to traitors are permanent and pensionable.”
He meant every word, and those who felt that opposition are now using the full weight of the state to silence him.
Today it is Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, tomorrow it could be anyone who dares to speak truth to power. Your silence today is your vulnerability tomorrow. Stand with us. We will not be silent.
Free Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
The heavy air of politics in the ongoing ordeal of Nasir el-Rufai is a danger to the credibility of our national institutions.
El-Rufai is entitled to fair treatment. And he should be given one.
https://t.co/qoIqjpY9XU
We are heartbroken. 💔 Since the illegal detention of our father, Nasir @elrufai, nothing has been the same. We can’t eat, we can’t sleep, and we have no peace of mind. This pain is real, and it is shared by thousands who believe in justice and truth.
Why should a man who has given his strength, his voice, and his vision for this nation be treated this way? This is not justice this is political grudges taking over what should be fairness and the rule of law.
El-Rufai is not just a leader; he is a man who has consistently worked for the progress of this country. A man who believes in building a better nation for all of us. Silencing such a voice is a disservice not just to him, but to Nigeria as a whole.
We call on the government:
Release him immediately. Let justice prevail. Let fairness speak louder than politics.
Nigeria needs leaders who are ready to work, to sacrifice, and to move the nation forward. We cannot afford to hold back those who are willing to complete the work of building this country.
Free El-Rufai. Let him continue serving the nation he loves.

Beyond Survival: The Case for Competent Leadership in Northern Nigeria.
Northern Nigeria stands at a decisive crossroads, one where sentiment must give way to strategy, and entitlement must yield to excellence. The demand for its best minds and most capable hands in leadership is no longer aspirational, it is existential.
For decades, the region has wrestled with a structural imbalance in revenue generation when compared to the South. While southern states, buoyed by coastal access, industrial clusters, and oil derived income, have built relatively stronger fiscal autonomy, much of the North remains dependent on federal allocations. This disparity has not only constrained development but has also fueled a damaging national narrative that casts the region as parasitic, consuming more than it produces. Whether fair or exaggerated, such a label erodes political capital and weakens the North’s bargaining power within the federation.
Yet the deeper crisis is not merely economic, it is ecological and existential. Climate change has begun to redraw the map of livelihood across the region. Advancing desertification, erratic rainfall, and shrinking arable land have intensified competition over resources, especially between farmers and pastoralists. What was once a manageable tension has, in many places, metastasized into cycles of violence.
Layered atop this is the scourge of banditry and terrorism. Vast ungoverned spaces, weak institutional presence, and chronic poverty have created fertile ground for armed groups to thrive. The human cost is staggering, displacement, disrupted education, and a generation growing up amid insecurity. The economic cost is equally severe, as investment flees and productivity collapses in affected areas.
In such a context, mediocrity in leadership is not just inadequate, it is dangerous. The North cannot afford leaders chosen for convenience, patronage, or narrow political calculations. It must insist on competence, vision, and integrity. Leaders who understand that revenue must be grown, not merely shared, that agriculture must evolve from subsistence to value driven enterprise, that education must be radically reimagined to meet modern demands, and that security requires both force and foresight.
Putting forward the best also means embracing difficult reforms. It means confronting elite complacency, dismantling systems that reward loyalty over merit, and investing in human capital at a scale that matches the region’s demographic weight. It requires leaders who can engage the South not from a position of defensiveness, but from one of renewed credibility and contribution.
Ultimately, the question before Northern Nigeria is simple, will it continue to be defined by its challenges, or by its response to them? The answer lies in leadership. And in times such as these, only the best will suffice.
Whenever you hear your governor, or those who speak for him, celebrate “rural development,”
listen beyond the words and into their intent.
For in politics, language often serves not as a mirror of reality, but as a substitute for it.
They justify inaction everywhere by promising attention somewhere.
And so, neither the rural nor urban gets developed, but a basket of excuses..
A giant scam!
