Barde Claims Tinubu and APC Leaders Are ‘Scared’ of El-Rufai

Mohammed Barde, ADC chieftain and retired broadcaster, says President Bola Tinubu and senior APC figures fear former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai because of his political strength. Speaking on Trust TV, he argued that El-Rufai’s ongoing legal battles are driven by political motives rather than pure justice. He noted that other ex-governors facing graver allegations remain free while El-Rufai is still under prosecution. Asked why opposition figures like Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have not been targeted similarly, Barde insisted El-Rufai’s case is exceptional due to his powerful network within the party. He also highlighted El-Rufai’s role in President Tinubu’s rise and said those contributions have gone unrecognized.
