| Former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai |
In a firm and unexpected move, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai has taken a strong stand against corruption allegations, declaring that he never stole public funds. And to prove his point? He’s ready to swear on the Qur’an, no hesitation.
Nigerian politicians are frequently accused of corruption and el Rufai is no stranger, to allegations either;. This time he is boldly asserting his innocence by declaring that he has nothing to hide when it comes to Kadunas finances and even offering to take an oath on one of Islams sacred texts. A move that has sparked widespread discussion and speculation, among the public.
Now, this isn’t just about defending his name it’s about trust. El Rufai is recognized for his occasionally contentious approach and is upholding his reputation, in Kaduna by dismissing allegations and daring those questioning his honesty to provide evidence.
In a political climate where trust can be a scarce commodity, moves like this are bound to stir up mixed reactions. Some might see it as a powerful statement of innocence, while others may question whether it’s enough to put the issue to bed. Either way, it’s a bold step that puts el-Rufai back in the spotlight, raising bigger questions about accountability in Nigerian politics.
