Fani-Kayode Describes El-Rufai as “Threat to National Security”
By Erewunmi Peace
A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as a “threat to national security” amid ongoing political tensions.
Fani-Kayode made the statement while reacting to recent comments and political positions attributed to El-Rufai, which have generated debate within Nigeria’s political space.
Political Tensions Rise
The remarks come amid heightened political exchanges involving El-Rufai and other prominent political actors.
In recent weeks, the former Kaduna governor has been vocal about issues relating to governance and national security, drawing both criticism and support from different quarters.
Fani-Kayode, known for his outspoken political views, argued that some of El-Rufai’s actions and statements could pose risks to national stability.
However, he did not cite any official security assessment declaring El-Rufai a formal threat.
No Official Security Declaration
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from the Federal Government or security agencies classifying El-Rufai as a national security threat.
Political analysts say the development reflects growing tensions within Nigeria’s political landscape as key figures exchange strong words over national issues.
Reactions Continue
Supporters of El-Rufai have dismissed the claim as politically motivated, while critics insist his recent conduct warrants scrutiny.
The situation continues to unfold, with observers expecting further reactions from political stakeholders in the coming days.
