The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has cautioned the federal government against any form of intimidation or harassment of former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
In a statement issued yesterday, MURIC’s Founder and Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, warned that targeting El-Rufai could tarnish the democratic reputation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
El-Rufai recently alleged that there were plans to arrest him due to his criticisms of the APC-led government and his reported ties with opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Addressing the allegations, MURIC urged the government to tread cautiously, saying:
“Considering the immense contribution of former Governor El-Rufai to the victory of the ruling party in the 2023 general elections, as well as his role in the emergence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we advise the federal government against intimidating him if these rumors are true.
“Doing so will stain the good name of the Tinubu administration as a democratic government and portray it as one that suppresses dissent”.
MURIC further emphasized that Nigeria’s global reputation is at stake, stating that allowing El-Rufai the freedom to move in and out of the country would boost the government’s credibility on the international stage.
