Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has said he believes he could be arrested at any moment by the APC-led Federal Government.
El-Rufai, now a leading figure in the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the claim during an interview with BBC Hausa on Wednesday. He also alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is exerting pressure on politicians to either defect to the party or remain loyal to it.
The former governor, who has recently stepped up criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the APC — the party under which he served two terms as Kaduna governor — said some of his close associates have already been detained.
“Four people we worked with in Kaduna have been arrested; it is 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.
