Former Governor of Kaudna State, Nasir El-Rufai has thrown his weight behind the leader of Northern Star, Naja’atu Muhammad amid allegations against the National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu.

DAILY POST reports that Mohammed had in a viral Tiktok video, claimed that Ribadu had while serving as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, discredited the virtue of President Bola Tinubu and other top politicians who are currently in the government.

He claimed that Ribadu as chairman of the anti-graft agency, vowed in 2007 that he will frustrate the then governors, Tinubu, George Akume of Benue State and Orji Kalu of Abia State.

However, the NSA in a letter on Tuesday, denied the allegation and demanded a public apology and retraction from Muhammad.

The letter addressed to Muhammad by the Lawyer of the NSA, Ahmed Raji, SAN, said Ribadu “has never maintained such a viewpoint” against any of the three politicians.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria added that “the damage occasioned to our client by your deliberate but ill-advised action is unquantifiable” and challenged Muhammad “to provide evidence of your allegations.”

Wading into the matter, El-Rufai in a post on his official Facebook page on Wednesday shared a screenshot of an old newspaper that captured Mohammed’s claim.

According to El-rufai, “Nuhu must have serious amnesia”, insisting that “Najaatu’s statement is accurate”.

The former governor claimed that the “record of proceedings in the Senate will confirm that Nuhu made those statements, sometime in 2006.

“The subsequent Daily Trust report below of February 2007, reconfirms the essence of the statements.

“The conclusions of the Federal Executive Council in 2006, which can be subpoenaed from the Cabinet Secretariat of the SGF’s office contain the allegations.

“In that Special FEC meeting in which I was a member, Nuhu’s EFCC made similar presentations accusing many sitting officials, sometime in 2006.

“These Council Conclusions will further remove all doubts.

“This is for the record and to remind the morally-flexible that at some point in our national life, silence is no longer golden”.

I am no tinubu fan, but you can tell that tinubus idealogy is bring your friends close but enemies closer. Tinubu knows all these things but chose to work with them. That's classic mafioso

Mindlog:
Ribadu is observing table manners thus the denial, deliberately forgetting receipts abound.

discusant:
Ribadu is "food us ready" man.

To ride piggyback on a northerner to Aso Rock, Bola Tinubu first used Ribadu to replace Jonathan with the belief that north will vote Ribadu president. Tinubu failed.

Tinubu resorted to use Muhammadu Buhari to remove the same Jonathan. Tinubu succeeded second time. Tinubu compensated Ribadu with appointment to his present office.
