‘El-Rufai should allow me face my onerous national assignment’ —Ribadu

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has refuted allegations made against him by former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai of being behind plots to tarnish his image and reputation because of his (Ribadu’s) 2031 presidential ambition.

El-Rufai who made the allegations in an interview with Arise TV on Monday evening, had accused Ribadu of leading a smear campaign against him due to his ambition to contest the presidential election in 2031.

“This project of destroy Nasir El-Rufai is Nuhu Ribadu’s conception. He is the architect and builder of that project. He is the one working with Uba Sani to implement it. So far, it has been frustrating for them.
