Former Governor of Kaudna State, Nasir El-Rufai has thrown his weight behind the leader of Northern Star, Naja’atu Muhammad amid allegations against the National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu.
DAILY POST reports that Mohammed had in a viral Tiktok video, claimed that Ribadu had while serving as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, discredited the virtue of President Bola Tinubu and other top politicians who are currently in the government.
He claimed that Ribadu as chairman of the anti-graft agency, vowed in 2007 that he will frustrate the then governors, Tinubu, George Akume of Benue State and Orji Kalu of Abia State.
However, the NSA in a letter on Tuesday, denied the allegation and demanded a public apology and retraction from Muhammad.
The letter addressed to Muhammad by the Lawyer of the NSA, Ahmed Raji, SAN, said Ribadu “has never maintained such a viewpoint” against any of the three politicians.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria added that “the damage occasioned to our client by your deliberate but ill-advised action is unquantifiable” and challenged Muhammad “to provide evidence of your allegations.”
