The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, making it crystal clear that the federal government will be held fully responsible if any harm comes to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai.
In what is fast becoming one of the hottest political conversations in Nigeria right now, the ADC pulled no punches as it addressed the current situation surrounding the former Kaduna helmsman — a man who, love him or hate him, has never been a stranger to controversy.
The party’s National leadership made their position known in unmistakable terms: if anything — and they mean anything — happens to El-Rufai, the consequences will be nothing short of unimaginable.
A Warning That Should Not Be Taken Lightly
Nigerians know how political tensions can escalate faster than NEPA takes light. The ADC’s warning is not just political grammar — it carries the weight of a party that clearly believes the former governor’s safety is under genuine threat.
The statement signals a growing unease in certain political circles about how the current administration is handling perceived opponents and critics. El-Rufai, who was once a close ally of many in the ruling establishment before dramatic political realignments, remains a figure whose voice and influence stretch far beyond Kaduna State.
Why This Matters to Every Nigerian
This is not just about one man. When opposition parties begin issuing warnings about the personal safety of prominent political figures, it raises important questions about the state of democracy and rule of law in our dear country.
Every Nigerian — from Kano to Calabar, from Lagos Island to the streets of Maiduguri — should be paying close attention. The treatment of political figures, whether we support them or not, sets a precedent for how power is exercised in Nigeria.
As the saying goes, “When they come for your neighbour’s goat today, your own cow is not safe tomorrow.”
The Bigger Picture
El-Rufai’s political journey has been nothing short of dramatic. From serving as FCT Minister under Obasanjo, to two terms as Kaduna Governor, to his recent high-profile exit from the APC — the man has clearly ruffled more than a few feathers in Aso Rock.
The ADC’s intervention suggests that powerful voices are watching closely and are ready to speak up. Whether President Tinubu’s administration will heed this warning remains to be seen.
