Once again, Nasir Elrufai has written from prison urging Nigerians to punish his incarcerators with their votes.

He has gone full throttle.

A Caged Lion is Still a Lion: Avenge El-Rufai’s Treatment With Your Votes — Refuse to Be Intimidated

Today marks two hundred and forty-six days since Mallam Nasir El-Rufai voluntarily surrendered himself to an investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and subsequently the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, on February 18, 2026, a detention that has now stretched through nearly eight months of a man who committed no crime other than refusing to kneel. A lot of people, supporters and even enemies alike, have registered their frustration at a spectacle that has long ceased to resemble justice and has become something closer to a political hostage situation. The campaign is about to start, and the paper tigers know it, which is precisely why the cage has not been opened.

They thought the cage would silence him. They thought the chains would make the people forget. They were wrong. A caged lion is still a lion but more dangerous. The roar does not die because the mouth is behind bars. It echoes louder. It travels farther. It wakes up those who were sleeping. And in Kaduna, across the North, and through every corner of this country where people still believe that leadership is about service and not about swallowing the commonwealth, the people are waking up. They are watching. They are remembering. And they are angry.

Let us be clear. The detention of Nasir El-Rufai is no longer a legal matter. It has become a political circus, and the clowns are not even pretending anymore. A former senator allegedly stood in Zaria and begged the governor to keep El-Rufai locked up until after the 2027 election, until the governor receives his crown, and only then should the lion be released. Read that again. A public figure, in broad daylight, at a political gathering, openly linking the continued detention of a former governor to the electoral ambitions of the incumbent. This is not justice. This is not the rule of law. This is fear wearing the mask of legality. And the mask is slipping.

Who are these people demanding that El-Rufai remain caged? Their records speak louder than any label. They are the ones who have never won anything on their own. They are the political tourists who attach themselves to whoever holds the microphone and the purse then betray them and find another host to leech again. They could not win a ward councillorship without standing on another man’s structure. They have no history of political triumph in and of themselves. And now, terrified that the lion might walk out of the cage and remind the people of what real leadership looks like, they are begging for the detention to continue. Paper tigers. That is what they are. Paper tigers roaring at a lion behind bars because they know that if the bars were removed, they would scatter like leaves in a storm.

Their fear is understandable. El-Rufai’s greatest strength was never in the Government House. It was never in the ministerial chambers. It was never in the boardroom of the APC or the corridors of power. His greatest strength is the people. Not just in Kaduna, though Kaduna knows him best. Across Nigeria, there are people who remember a man who spoke truth to power when it was dangerous. Who stood against the naira redesign policy not because it hurt his party’s chances, but because he saw ordinary Nigerians suffering at the ATM queues, unable to buy food, unable to transport themselves to work. He said it plainly, without fear of the cabal in Aso Rock: the president made a mistake. How many of those now calling him a criminal had the courage to say that? Not one. They were too busy calculating how to position themselves for the next round of appointments.

Sorry I, El rufai.
It's well with you

Sorry I, El rufai.

so el rufai is no longer the butcher of southern kaduna that deserved to be punished right?

Some people are just so directionless that hate is what push them around, I remember that time that anytime el rufai name is mentioned those hate filled cretins will always call him butcher of southern kaduna n other derogatory names n they will always remind u of how el rufai will meet his Waterloo

Today same people are queuing behind el rufai n making a case for him

Ask them y?

Simply because they believe el rufai is now Tinubu enemy.....


That's y nobody takes them serious, they have no guiding principle but hate

I have deliberately remained unbothered about El Rufai.

But I remember the data boiz of the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr telling my brother Fubara that he is ungrateful to Wike.

Ler me ask those who love to tell llies and change the narratives before they remember their own real names and where they actually come from

Is this how the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr is grateful to a man who helped him in snatching and grabbing ?

Data boiz theŕe will never be a pathway to another round of snatching and grabbing in 2027. The Northerners have already cooked a lot of emil000kaan surprises for your dishonest and kriminal demi faaake certttifficcate hollldderr god.

Enjoy your tune of 100 Governors in the bag while it last

Nigeria is on Auto Pilot.

He was a butcher while the made BAT president or after he decided that BAT is a mistake that should not have happened second time.
He remains one of the best governor of kaduna state in performance

Only malignantly opinionated tinubu haters push the kind of stale rhetoric which is infantile at best,el rufai didn't make Tinubu.....el rufai didn't even give tinubu 30% in his state......instead of you to own upto the truth and tell el rufai to his face that he is thinking too highly of himself with his irrelevant entitlement mentality so he can mend his ways.......you rather lead him to the slaughter and see his end .tinubu already has him where he wants him and he played himself into his hands foolishly.......so much for your great el midget!!

Christistruth03 this is just the beginning of pains and wailings

Rig and ..

And the North is not burning...
In the past governments, the North would have burnt if Elrufai is incarcerated.
Is this not incarceration?
Jagaban is definitely on a different level...

Imagine Elrufai is part of the campaign team for ADC even for the fact that he's currently not available to play the role he was appointed to

That's how the opposition have been deceiving themselves

Their principal refused to campaign as they don't want to waste their money and time while their supporters are beating their chest on candidates who already gave up

Put all the opposition together in one party, Atiku, Obi, Kwankwanso, Amaechi. Their combination can't even defeat president Tinubu in a free , fair and credible election in Nigeria

All of them combined, where is their strength?

May he remain there until President Tinubu completes his eight-year tenure, IJN (In Jesus’ Name , InshAllah, tuwo aewa ). 🙏🇳🇬

chinedu

When did fubara become your brother?

U people are so directionless that people are just using u to play silly games

U can see how Adeleke played u all in osun n spit in your faces

This is what happens when u have no guiding principle but hate

Your own principle is just hate Tinubu

If anyone hates Tinubu today he automatically becomes your friend n if anyone supports Tinubu today he automatically becomes your enemy

That's y d rest of Nigerians have left u to your side, when others are playing politics u are playing hate n they are two different ball games

A caged lion without teeth is worse than a free dog that barks

Lolz
Where was this your comment when he was parading and campaigning for tinubu all over northern Nigeria in 2022/23
Without el rufai, Tinubu will never have won APC primaries and this calamity of tinubu won't have befall us
Well
He deserve all that he is getting now.
This is how all of you supporting the calamity and national disaster in Aso rock will end

A caged Lion only needs a bag of rice to still remain a caged Lion.

Build more cage for them and throw grains for them.

Well, let’s see how the incarceration or otherwise of El-Rufai will help BAT win the election in 2027.

You wey dey support the butcher of Endsars youth, wetin give you the moral right to chat shii on this subject?

Mechonu dia!

No pity for a jihadists terrorists, he sent lots of people to jail without justice, let him test it too

Politicians matters ehnnn, all of una go dey alright.

Kaduna is relatively peaceful under Uba Sani unlike when the midget El-rufai was Governor of Kaduna.
Soon Kaduna will have a Muslim + Christian joint ticket in Kaduna State Government House ending an age long persecution and suppression of Christians (mostly Southern Kaduna) in the State.

Keep kwayet there you hypocrite! You're not different from the people you're criticizing. When Daniel Bwala and Reno Omokri were lambasting Buhari and APC, you were insulting them. Today, you're praising them because they're licking the ass of the fake accountant and drug criminal, Bola Tinubu.

I hope you're enjoying your watery beans in detention

A cage lion is like a chicken in case you know .

Lions runs the jungle while chickens are caged !

So rufai should remain in the cage while Masters runs the show .

femi4:
A caged lion without teeth

Don’t mind him jare.

He doesn’t need teeth to eat Remi Tinubu akara, which is supposed to replace her husband’s 50 million jobs promise since 2023!

How can Tinubu get his trillion dollar economy without creating jobs to add value in Nigeria
