El-Rufai’s Son Backs Investigation Into Father’s Administration

Mohammed El-Rufai, the eldest son of Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has stated that he is in favor of the Kaduna State Government’s investigation into his father’s administration, so long as it is carried out with impartiality and clarity.

In an interview with the BBC Hausa Service on Saturday, Mohammed stressed that while accountability is crucial, any probe must focus on uncovering facts rather than settling personal scores.

The lawmaker representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, however, urged that investigations not be used as a political weapon.

“If done for selfish reasons, such inquiries only harm progress,” he said.

Speaking further, Mohammed stated reconciling his father and his successor, Governor Uba Sani, is not his responsibility, saying that the rift between the two is being exaggerated in the media.

Mohammed, however, stated that he was not happy with the ”cold war’ between his father and the governor, considering the role both played in his life.

Emphasizing his commitment to serving his constituents, Mohammed stated that his priority is effective governance in his constituency and not mediating in the ongoing rift.
