Ex-Councilors Demand Immediate Arrest of El-Rufai Over Alleged Security Claims
...Say he's a security threat
The National Forum of Ex-Councilors of Nigeria has called for the immediate arrest of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over allegations bordering on national security.
The group made the demand at a press conference held in Kaduna on Monday, February 16, 2026.
National President of the Forum, Hon. Amb. Auwal Kasim Hassan, described El-Rufai as a threat to national security, alleging that the former governor had confessed to tapping the phone of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
Hassan said the allegation by El-Rufai that he was marked for death through food poisoning allegedly orchestrated by the Office of the National Security Adviser was too serious to be ignored.
According to him, the gravity of the claims warrants immediate action by security agencies to prevent what he described as attempts to whip up public sympathy from opposition elements.
“The allegation that he was marked for food poisoning by the Federal Government is weighty and cannot be treated lightly. We are calling on relevant security agencies to immediately arrest him and investigate these claims,” Hassan said.
He further disclosed that the forum was prepared to institute direct criminal charges against El-Rufai through its legal representatives to compel him to provide evidence to substantiate his allegations.
The forum also reiterated its support for the Renewed Hope administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging the President not to be distracted by what it described as the “antics” of the former governor and his associates.
