Good for him because his big mouth and self driven ego got him there in the first place...

When Yar'adua was in power, Elrufai ran away from Nigeria.
He now has the guts to boast about tapping the phone of the NSA. Are you aware that even Service Chiefs salute the NSA?
Elrufai go tay for there.
Imagine going on live TV to boast about tapping the phone of the number 1 security officer in the land.

Was it impunity from getting away Scott's free from all the crimes he has committed or was it just stupidity on his part?

I am leaning more on stupidity scale because El Rufai who got a law degree from the UK should have known the wider implications of such blatant utterance.

The DSS also needs to open up his terrorism financing which he admitted to paying terrorists outside Nigeria .

The case of the missing activists who was abducted from his home in the dead of the night and hasn't been seen since should also be reopened.

His son who also foolishly boasted on social media over the activist's dissapearance must also be arrested and investigated thoroughly.

The activist left behind a young wife and two small children and they must be compensated from the El Rufai criminal estate loot.

Lies. If he wanted to be free, he wouldn't need to pay a dime. He would simply pledge support for Tinubu as Yahaya Bello, Ifeanyi Okowa and several others have done and walk free the very next day. They have nothing on Mallam Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai.
Even Buhari distanced himself from El Rufai .

No one outside your Atiku who hasn't learnt anything from El Rufai's treachery will associate with him.

The man couldn't even post bail and that should tell you how he has been left to his fate.

Buhari distanced himself from Elrufai? Okay, but Tinubu begged Elrufai in Kaduna to help make him president. Why didn't he distance himself from Elrufai during the electioneering campaign? No be una again? You all are not beating the allegations. Don't worry. Similar bail conditions will be set for your faves. Goodluck to them posting it.

El-rufai is not a small fry oooo.

Hmm.
Highest political position he ever attained was being elected a governor - a position he attained on the Sai Buhari wave .

He was nobody before Obasanjo appointed him.

He ran away from Nigeria when Yaradua became President because Yaradua was more than ready to jail him for all his corrupt practices as FCT minister.

Even as governor , he was excluded from the Buhari inner cabinet and considered a loose cannon never to be trusted.

He made enemies for himself along the way up and now that he is at rock bottom, no one except Emir Sanusi will come to his rescue.

I don't know how you guys rate this midget.

Wike on the other hand get levels and support from across the polity , military and Judiciary and in his Niger Delta.

Now that's whom you should rate as a dragon and not this annoying Tse-tse fly El Rufai.

The only enemies he ever made that was consequential were those who made enemies of him when he was selling Tinubu to the North. You all will back to say the same about Wike and why your betrayal of him is justified because he made enemies for himself. We already saw a semblance of that with how fast you all threw Umahi under the bus with the coastal road saga recently.

Since you have been leaving under the rock, may I remind you of how El Rufai leaked a letter he wrote to Buhari critisizing his adminstration?

Or how El Rufai's insolence towards then VP , Osinbanjo was treated with the cabal coming to the defense of the VP whom same cabal had alienated?

El Rufai was barred from visiting Aso Rock for most part of Buhari's 8ys.

The only reason El Rufai backed Tinubu was because he wanted to get back at the cabal.

Oh, so Elrufai criticised Buhari? I thought he never criticised Buhari because Buhari was a Northerner. If anything, this shows how consistent and upright Elrufai has always been. You are right. Elrufai wrote several letters to Buhari all through his 8 years. The people around the presidency leaked the letter, not Elrufai. In that letter, asides from complaining to Buhari about insecurity, he criticised Buhari for what he termed the perceived sidelining of Tinubu and others who worked for his election. At that time, the likes of Shehu Sani were asking APC to expel Elrufai for daring to write Buhari a letter. Like we said, we are only documenting history so it will not be rewritten.

Here's a copy of the letter.

His support for Tinubu wasn't altruistic as you want to paint it.

El Rufai pitched his tent with Tinubu to frustrate the cabal that had alienated him from Aso Rock.

He supported Tinubu to spite the cabal .

And Tinubu decided to reward him with a ministerial position that Tinubu knew El Rufai will never get owing to his security dossier that is so damning that even the most rubber stamp Senate will never ignore.

Did Tinubu set him up ?

Probably.

What I have read about Tinubu is that he never forgets nor forgives. And that he is more vindictive than late Buhari.

All that rubbish of leaving Kaduna to come down to Lagos to challenge Tinubu supremacy in Lagos was his greatest undoing.

Well, this is just the begining because the more serious crimes of terrorism financing and murder of an activist are being prepared for him.

Funny how it's only you guys from the SE and Obidients that are crying for El Rufai.

Even Amaechi that had been bailing El Rufai refused to even get involved.

"The witness told the court that $500,000 and $100,000 were allegedly set aside for the payments. He added that forensic audio recordings captured conversations involving El-Rufai and some of his suspected associates."

"After Kayode submitted a hard copy of his findings to the court clerk, the defence complained that the document should have been served earlier to enable it to study its contents."

Like we said, you will say the same about Wike and several others who are supporting Tinubu today. Afterall, the support for Tinubu by Wike is also not altruistic. Meanwhile, Tinubu's support for Buhari was completely altruistic and not because he wanted to succeed him after. No be una again?

Nothing like uprightness.

El Rufai wanted to embarrass the govt of Buhari over being barred from Aso Rock.

He was told to concentrate on governing Kaduna state instead of trying to insert himself into the Presidency.

He then started a useless public feud with Osinbanjo just to play the tribal card but even the cabal saw through it and warned him again not to interfere with the Presidency.

Wike is solid because WIke never abused his powers as governor and never terrorised a segment of Rivers people.

Wike will never suffer same fate as El Rufai because God has planned bigger roles for him in the future with at least a VP role or the Presidency.


Your Atiku should stop paying those Chadian juju men who have been scamming him that he will be President of Nigeria.

Singularity Network Security Limited
Recipient of the December 2015 ₦8.

Why it matters
This case illustrates ongoing challenges in Nigeria's fight against corruption, particularly regarding large-scale infrastructure projects and public procurement processes. It demonstrates the persistence of anti-corruption agencies in pursuing cases against high-profile political figures, reflecting evolving institutional capacity in the Fourth Republic's accountability mechanisms.

What happened
In 2026, Nigeria's Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) filed fresh charges against former Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai and others over alleged irregularities in a ₦10.8 billion closed-circuit television (CCTV) security project. Singularity Network Security Limited was identified as a recipient of ₦8 billion from the December 2015 contract disbursements. The charges represented a renewed effort by anti-corruption agencies to pursue accountability for the failed infrastructure project that had been under investigation for years.

The Kaduna CCTV project was originally conceived as a comprehensive security surveillance system to monitor the state capital and surrounding areas during a period of heightened security concerns in northern Nigeria. Awarded during el-Rufai's first term as governor, the project was intended to enhance public safety through modern technology infrastructure. However, the project reportedly failed to deliver the promised security coverage despite the substantial financial investment, prompting investigations into potential mismanagement and corruption in the procurement and implementation process.

Lol. Why did Tinubu beg a man who "terrorised" his people to help make him president and went everywhere with him during the campaigns, including to Chatham house? I'm sure he was not aware of that until Elrufai made him president. You all ain't beating the allegations. Obviously, it's a way of life for you folks.

Nasir El Rufai, the chicken is roosting.

For many years, El Rufai had made himself a thorn in the flesh of others. In 2003, he said Senators Jonathan Zwingina and Ibrahim Mantu demanded bribes to confirm him as minister. The reputational blow that followed that accusations defined the careers of the accused.

He celebrated Yar'adua's death, saying Yar'adua ended in his grave for fighting him. Same El Rufai said he would join Ambode or Fashola to defeat godfatherism. Same El Rufai had several bursts up with southern Kaduna people. A 1 billion naira judgement debt was placed on him for illegal detention of some activists in Kaduna state.

Atiku brought El Rufai into government. The things El Rufai wrote against Atiku in his book are damaging. Today, Atiku is one of those seeking rehabilitation for El Rufai.

Finally, unprovoked, El Rufai said he tapped the phones of government officials, including NSA. When he was told it was illegal, he said someone else did it and gave him the records. That was at a time when Nigeria was fighting insurgency.

Nasir El Rufai incriminated himself. His love for fighting is why he cannot meet his bail conditions.

If he actually earmarked money to pay bribes, how is he different from those he accused of demanding same from him in 2003?
Hell rufai has never been a friend to any FG he is not part of since 1999.

Check History.
Once he is not in a president kitchen Cabinet,he will start fighting

He fought Buhari at some point when Malami insulted him by saying he should sit down in Kaduna instead of frequenting Abuja
