They are planning to arrest, detain me – El-Rufai raises alarm

Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has raised concerns over the possibility of his arrest and detention.
El-Rufai claimed to have heard rumors about his potential arrest but stated that he has no intention of going into exile.
In a post on X on Tuesday, the former governor said his adversaries are allegedly trying to force him out of the country.
He disclosed this while responding to a user and staunch supporter, Imran Wakili, regarding the alleged plot to arrest and detain him.
El-Rufai, who is currently in Egypt, said he plans to return to Nigeria before February 20.
“I will spend more time in Nigeria than ever before,” El-Rufai wrote.
“They have sent similar messages of intimidation and threats through many of my friends, family, and political associates because they want me to go on self-imposed exile.“
I have now put all my previous academic and language-learning plans on hold. Silence is no longer golden. Inaction has never been an option.
“The arrest, detention, and torture of perceived political enemies are nothing new in human affairs.
I have been arrested and detained thrice in the past for expressing my views about previous governments.
“There is always a morning after the arrest or detention or torture, and political life continues.
As for death, it is when Allah destines it, and it is ultimately the date of every human.
“For the attention of the pathetic characters that don’t sleep well whenever I am in Nigeria, take notice that I intend to return in time for the launch of Pres IBB’s memoirs, in sha Allah, scheduled for 20th February.
“We depend on no one but Allah. We fear no mortal but Almighty Allah. We always hope for the best but plan for the worst.”
El-Rufai is currently involved in a face-off with supporters of President Bola Tinubu and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He recently accused the APC of lacking internal democracy, citing the fact that the party’s organs have not met in the past two years.
