In an unfolding political drama, former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, is reportedly gearing up for a legal showdown with President Bola Tinubu. This battle, according to Insiders, is set to take place in judicial courts over allegations labeling El-Rufai as a ‘security risk’, and in the broader court of public opinion, potentially shaping the political landscape ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
The roots of this confrontation trace back to El-Rufai’s rejection for a ministerial position by the Tinubu administration, citing security concerns—a move that has sparked widespread discussion and is seen by many as a public snub to the former governor.
