Sequel to reports making rounds that Kaduna state governor, mallam Nasir El Rufai, had declared his asset worth N90 billion, the embattled governor have taken legal action against The Union newspapers which allegedly published it first.

Asset Declaration: El Rufai Sues The Union Newspapers

Nasir El-Rufai

In a statement released by the special adviser (media) to the embattled governor, Samuel Aruwan, owners of the publication would be taken to court.

The statement reads: “After a busy few weeks as governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is dismayed by the blatant falsehood being practised as journalism by The Union newspapers. He has consequently directed his legal team to vigorously enforce his rights to protect his reputation from the vandalism of irresponsible hacks.


“The Union chose to write a spurious story alleging N90b as his assets declaration without seeing the declaration made by Malam El Rufai. The circle of blackmail that did the story claimed they heard a rumour, and they pursued the rumour so vigorously they transformed it into news.

“When some of their cohorts made contact with the governor’s media team insisting that they respond to rumour, they were told that it is better if they chose the more legitimate route of agitating for a public asset declaration.”
