2027 will be payback time – El-rufai
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, has reacted to the release of Bashir Saidu, after 50 days in custody.
El-Rufai, in a statement on X (formerly Twitter), described Saidu’s detention as an “abduction and unjustified incarceration”, alleging that it was politically motivated.
“Bashir has been my friend for over 53 years, a Barewa College classmate, former Commissioner of Local Government, and of Finance, and former Chief of Staff,” he wrote.
He accused security operatives and elements within the judiciary of obstructing justice and delaying Saidu’s bail. According to him, the incident was an act of political persecution because of Saidu’s dominance in Kaduna North and Central politics.
El-Rufai further warned that those responsible would face consequences in the 2027 elections.
“The payback to those behind it will be known on or before the 2027 elections, In sha Allah,” he declared.
He also promised to reveal more details on the alleged role of certain police officers and judges in the ordeal, urging Nigerians to “stand by for some interesting insights.”
