Former Kaduna Governor Reacts to Arrest Scare: “Bring Me the Letter or Nothing”
In his words he said
As I was coming out from the plane, a young man wearing a suit came up to me and said they were from the DSS and that they wanted to see me in their office. I said, ‘I need a document.’ And they said, ‘We will give you the document,’” he said.
You will give me the document. My house is near your office. If it’s the DSS, I will go home. If you don’t have the document now, bring the document to me there. You cannot stop me at the airport and tell me to come with you,” El-Rufai recalled, noting that about 50 operatives were present.
We learnt that it was the ICPC that procured the DSS to do the abduction. I was supposed to be abducted by the DSS and handed over to the ICPC. The ICPC has never invited me. We just understand now that it’s the ICPC, not the EFCC, that’s responsible for what happened today,” he said, adding that the action was allegedly ordered by Nuhu Ribadu, ICPC Chairman.
I fear nothing but God. And I have been working in government in this country for years. I have challenged anyone who has anything against me, anyone who says he gave me a penny, or that I asked for a penny, or that I have any wealth that I did not earn with my own sweat, to come out and say that I am a liar
Civil servants must work properly and follow the law and order as provided by the law if Nigeria is to progress
I’m afraid of tyranny, undemocratic acts, a non-functioning legislature, and a judiciary weaponised against the opposition
It’s not accurate they tried to detain me. DSS met me exiting the plane, wanted me to go to their office. I demanded an invitation letter, did immigration, and refused. Even the president can’t force me in a democracy. Passengers and greeters overpowered them, letting me leave,” El-Rufai said.
