The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has appointed former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai as Deputy Chairman of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections.

El-Rufai, who remains in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), was named alongside other members of the campaign council approved by Atiku.

The former governor will serve under Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, who was appointed Chairman of the council, while Senator Augustine Okwudiri Akobundu will serve as Director-General and Campaign Manager.

According to the campaign structure, El-Rufai will be responsible for high-level political coordination and engagement with key stakeholders across the country.


The appointment comes while the former governor remains in ICPC custody over an ongoing investigation and related legal proceedings.

The former governor is also facing separate legal proceedings, including a case filed by the Department of State Services over allegations relating to the interception of communications involving the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.

Baawaa:
El-rufai will be behind the bar till 2031,

AMINDA:
He is not currently behind a bar. Nothing has been proved against him, and they couldn't make anything stick on him. He is currently being incarcerated by a coward who moved against him after begging him in Kaduna to make him president. He was warned not to return to the country by those who got the info but ge chose to come anyways because Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai is not a coward. Any coward can abuse power after finding themselves in possession of it. But make no mistakes, no one is immune from being behind the bar, not even your tin-god, and you will live long enough to see it happen.

Yeah, they couldn't make anything stick on him.

They couldn't make anything glue on him too.

AMINDA:
Elrufai is Tinubu's political prisoner because Tinubu lives in morbid fear of him. He knows Elrufai made him president and has seen his capacity firsthand. Tinubu panicked when he saw how Elrufai managed to bring Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso under one umbrella in a matter of months and cowardly moved to detain him. Heads or tail, Elrufai will engineer his defeat at the polls come 2027.

Elrufai is the mentor of their mentor

AMINDA:
The onus is on the NSA to prove that his phone was tapped and how. His phone was tapped but he was unaware until a civilian told him about it? You can't convict someone for murder if there's no dead body. Certainly not by word of mouth.

EponObi:
Yeah, they couldn't make anything stick on him.
They couldn't make anything glue on him too.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Friday said the abduction of pupils and teachers from Oriire Local Government Area occurred just hours after he declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election.

Makinde made the remark while addressing a meeting with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and leaders of the Allied Peoples Movement in Bauchi, recalling that Oyo had not recorded a similar incident during his seven years in office before the May 15 attack.

“For seven years, we didn’t witness anything like this in Oyo State. I declared to run for the presidency of Nigeria at four o’clock, and by 9 a.m. the following morning, the children were abducted,” Makinde said.

Hours after Makinde’s remarks in Bauchi, the Presidency announced that all the victims had been rescued after spending 56 days in captivity.

The Presidency said the victims were freed during a joint operation involving the military, the Department of State Services and the police, with eight suspected kidnappers arrested and others neutralised.
