Baba-Ahmed Urges El-Rufai to Face Corruption Allegations, Settle Ribadu Rift in Court

Описание: Former Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has advised former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai to focus on clearing his name over corruption allegations instead of escalating his dispute with National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.

Speaking on the political paradigm on Channels Television, Baba-Ahmed described El-Rufai as a difficult figure to advise and urged him to limit the political damage by directly addressing accusations that he misused public funds. He emphasised that the growing exchange of allegations between El-Rufai and Ribadu should not be dismissed as political drama but resolved transparently through the courts.

Baba-Ahmed also called for judicial scrutiny of all claims, including corruption accusations and concerns surrounding the alleged procurement of thallium sulphate, insisting that only a legal process can establish the truth and protect institutional credibility.

The rift between El-Rufai and Ribadu intensified after the former governor alleged that Ribadu ordered his detention at Abuja airport and influenced anti-corruption investigations for political motives linked to a supposed 2031 presidential ambition. Ribadu has denied the accusations, maintaining that security and anti-corruption agencies operate independently.

Baba-Ahmed expressed disappointment over the breakdown of what was once a close political relationship formed during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. He warned that the public dispute reflects deeper structural challenges within Nigeria’s political culture and governance system.

As legal and political tensions continue to unfold, observers say the next steps taken by the involved parties could significantly shape public trust in national institutions and the broader democratic process.
