The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Thursday alleged that the All Progressives Congress, APC, plans to release former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai after the 2027 elections.

ADC’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi said the APC knows that the opposition would be stronger if El-Rufai is released before the election.

Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Abdullahi insisted that the ADC is against making it difficult for El-Rufai to be granted bail.

He said: “ADC is not opposed to anybody who has a legitimate case to answer from being prosecuted but when you are holding someone in custody for bailable offences and you proceed to arraign that person and make impossible conditions for bail to meet, it creates room for us to believe that you deliberate intend to hold this person in perpetuity.

“What I can tell you is that the thinking within the ADC is that the APC government has concluded that they will not release Mallam Nasir El-Rufai until after the election.

“That’s what we believe, that’s the plan, and that’s what they plan to do. They know that with Mallam Nasir El-Rufai freed, the opposition is stronger and they know that if they release him, he would remind them of certain things that they would rather forget.

“We in the opposition believe that they are doing everything to make sure that El-Rufai remains in custody until after the election.”

Ttalk:
That will be very commendable. When are they going to release MNK?

AMINDA:
Tinubu lives in morbid fear of Elrufai and knows Elrufai will engineer his defeat at the polls in the same way that he made him president. That's why he has him incarcerated for a bailable offense while shielding his Chief of Staff and other appointees who have been fingered in shady deals times without number. To the snake oil merchants who will come here talking about the played out "wiretapping" cliché, Tinubu was already hell-bent on detaining Elrufai leading into 2027. This was why attempts was made to arrest him at the airport upon his voluntary return to Nigeria. That was before the interview. Plus, one does not automatically become guilty of a crime by mere talks. You can't be charged for confessing to a murder when a dead body does not exist. He has since been kept by the ICPC who has no jurisdiction whatsoever to persecute issues bothering on wiretapping. The good thing is that 2027 is inevitable and the tables will turn in a short while from now.

Fekumzi123:
They have started putting Elrufai in more trouble just like Nnamdi Kanu.
What if he's still there after the election and possibly prison. You will say another.
They once said Buhari will release Nnamdi Kanu before last election so that APC can use it win southeast votes.

tishbite41:
So, Buhari, a Fulani, will release MNK, an Igbo and Biafran diehard, for Tilumbu, a Yoruba Chicago don, to win the Nigerian elections in 2023

If I tell you what I think about you now, Seun Osewa and his mods will ban me for 100 years!

Klington:
Elrufai is reaping what he sowed. He brought Tinubu the calamity upon innocent Nigerians.

erniok:
Na here dem dey see you.

So he deliberately played into their hands right? Your principal doesn't play smart considering sounded so cocky in that interview.

Anyway, this is beer parlour gist and you know it.

Iyeku:

His revenge and vengeance no go here whenever he gets the chance to take revenge.

Short men are very vengeful. Sooner or later, he has to be released. The international community go soon chook mouth.

Jayhome24:
Even 2027 we won't still free him we go pursue el rufai to his grave I swear.

The blood of those innocent Southern Kaduna and Benue that stained his hands must surely pay him back in full nemesis.

He over-estimated himself and we docked him
