Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has slammed the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, accusing him of \u201cserious amnesia\u201d over his denial of past comments allegedly made against President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
Ribadu had, through his lawyer, Dr. Ahmed Raji (SAN), demanded a public apology and retraction from a Peoples Democratic Party\u2019s chieftain,\u00a0 Naja\u2019atu Muhammad,\u00a0 who claimed in a viral TikTok video that Ribadu had once labelled Tinubu as corrupt during his tenure as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.<\/p>\n
In a strongly worded letter, Ribadu refuted the allegations, insisting he never made such statements, either publicly or privately, and described the damage from the video as \u201cunquantifiable.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly, in the text of your recording, you stated that when our client served as the Chairman of the EFCC, he allegedly named President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alongside Sen. George Akume and Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, as governors who stole the most from the public treasury,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n
Backing Muhammad\u2019s claims, El-Rufai in a rebuttal post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, accused Ribadu of selective memory.<\/p>\n
\u201cNuhu must have serious amnesia. The record of proceedings in the Senate will confirm that Nuhu made those statements sometime in 2006. A Daily Trust report from February 2007 reconfirms the essence of the statements,\u201d El-Rufai posted.<\/p>\n
He further referenced the Federal Executive Council conclusions from 2006, suggesting they contain evidence of Ribadu\u2019s allegations against Tinubu and others.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that Special FEC meeting, which I was a member of, Nuhu\u2019s EFCC made similar presentations accusing many sitting officials at the time. These Council conclusions can be subpoenaed from the Cabinet Secretariat of the SGF\u2019s office to remove all doubts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is for the record and to remind the morally flexible that at some point in our national life, silence is no longer golden,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
