Defection: El-Rufai Accuses FG Of Plotting To Eliminate Tambuwal




A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Friday condemned the withdrawal of security details attached to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal and described the action as the highest level of impunity by the Peoples Democratic Party led Federal Government against its perceived political enemies.

In an interview with Channels Television shortly after he picked the governorship nomination and expression of interest forms at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Kaduna, El-Rufai alleged that the withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security details on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, Mr Suleiman Abbah, was a plot by the Federal Government to expose the Speaker to great danger.
He recalled that the speaker was among the 1,000 prominent Nigerians pencilled down for elimination by snippers allegedly groomed by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The former minister accused President Jonathan of being the mastermind of the withdrawal of the Speaker’s security details and warned that no harm must befall the Speaker.
He further explained that the withdrawal of Tambuwal”s security details was deliberate because of the Speaker’s defection from Peoples Democratic Party to the APC, and however warned the police and other security agencies to desist from being partisan in the 2015 general elections.
“Nigerians are fed up with the current PDP government both in Kaduna State and at the federal level,” he said.
On what informed his decision to contest for the governorship seat in Kaduna State, El-rufai said he was in the race to salvage Kaduna from the maladministration of the present PDP government in the state, and explained that security, job creation and infrastructural development would form the main priority of his government if elected as governor in 2015. He also debunked the people’s fear that he would demolish illegal houses in the state when elected governor of Kaduna State in 2015.
