Nasir El-rufai, governor of Kaduna State, has been challenged to go ahead with the defamation suit he threatened to file against petitioners who demanded his exclusion at the 2020 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

Mr El-rufai was initially billed to speak on Insecurity at the event which will also be held virtually, but a petition to the body of legal practitioners led to him being disinvited.

While reaction to the withdrawal of his invitation which his son said was useless, the governor said it was unfair and threatened to seek legal redress.

“The defamatory statements in the petition is another matter entirely, and they will get the appropriate response,” he said in a statement authored by Muyiwa Adekeye, his special adviser on media and communications.

Open Bar Initiative, one of the groups which signed the petition seeking his disengagement, has challenged him to go ahead and not back down in seeking redress in court.

In a Friday statement posted on its social media account, the advocacy group, described the threat as laughable, saying they were waiting as he will be exposed more in court.

“At best, this is laughable. Even at a time that he is expected to be sombre, he is dishing out threats for an imaginative “defamation,” the group said on Twitter.

“Well, bring it on, the Court room will not contain the lawyers for the Defendant & more will be revealed about him. Shame!”

This fight is getting more interesting.

Let's see who will chicken out.

El-Rufai exclusion from the NBA AGC is petty, parochial and divisible.

How can you exclude the brightest speaker from a supposedly conference of intellectuals on an unfounded allegations? At least they should have use the conference to probe and rope him where necessary.
I smell hatred and political antagonism in their decision.

So you'll need him to drag you to court before you expose him? did gandollars drag anyone to court before he was exposed? Useless Ipob Mentality!!

May not end well

The thing pain ElRufai. He never thought he would be embarrassed this way. I only pity those Nigerians who would easily take side based on religion, ethnicity and political affiliations. The fact is that ElRufai and his likes in government needs to be humbled as they assumed to be omnipotents.

The drama just began

I like the way this drama is going. I pray it keeps unfolding. One way or the other, Nigeria, just like Zambia shall be free.

We are waiting for him in court

The deinvitation really pained the midget of a governor.
Imagine El Rufai extrapolating his delusional prowess to involve the late President Umaru Yar'Addua.

hell rude file is pained

I just dey laugh at the butterfly that thinks himself a bird.

The withdrawal of elrufai's invitation by the NBA is a laudable one meant to make him take more proactive measures in addressing the incessant killings going in southern Kaduna. It was least expected but a good development. There is still hope for Nigeria.

Useless mumuric comment

Elrufai the useless short devil

Governor who is poorly educated wants to face learned men. Let him go and disgrace himself.

What has this man to say about Insecurity self??
If he has an idea on how to implement state security let him do that in Kaduna..



NBA too is hypocritical..
One sided justice mongers..They know where the problem lies but fail to tackle it squarely..
Yet they use peoples dealings to threaten them..

El Rufai should just dare them... More secrets need to be esposed..
Who is in Asorock??

my uncle is one of the excos of MBA, edo chapter and he's in support of the invite withdrawal. To shock you more he's an apc supporter and the new MBA chair isn't ibo. Google his name. I still wonder why anyone who's against the ineptitude linked to an apc leader in the country is seen as ipob. Thats a very bad notion. If you do your statistics very well, the numbet of those who aren't in the apc in South west fat outweighs those who are apc members. Would you say oyo state people who dethroned apc are Igbos? Oyo state capital used to be the largest city in Africa, now second largest. Had osun election not been massively righed, pdp would have won. Or were they invited to vote in osun with the election results so close? What of ondo where buhari lost to the pdp in the general elections., are they also Igbos? Why did you think lagos presidential election results were delayed? Despite the massive rigging during which some figures were apportioned to the apc, the pdp would have won. Even in spite of the rigging, the margin was lean. Osinbajo, sanwoolu both lost their wards to the pdp during the presidential election were those who voted at their wards also ipob? If not for Tinubu buying votes in the south west and sending his thugs to intimidate voters and snatch ballot boxes who be apc to brag there? We heard in edo how much he spent to fuel the oto geh revolution in kwara.

The accidental governor has a case to answer when he leaves office.

Bubu will not be there to save him

MBA chairman from edo

PMBNG:


Even at a time that he is expected to be sober, he is dishing out threats for an imaginative defamation.

He is seeing imaginary enemies where there are none.
Let him continue on his path of self-destruct.
He'll be the one to bear the brunt.

See as El Rufai's balloon of ego got deflated
