El-Rufai's Actions Yield Consequences - PDP Criticizes El-Rufai After Police summons Former Governor

Kaduna PDP Accuses Governors El-Rufai and Sani of Political Persecution

In a response to the Nigerian police summoning of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai and six African Democratic Congress (ADC) leaders, the Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the governors of using security agencies to persecute perceived political opponents.

The PDP's state Publicity Secretary, Maria Dogo, stated that El-Rufai is reaping what he has sown, a statement repeated from earlier but with additional context. Dogo accused El-Rufai of robbing the PDP of its mandate during the 2023 governorship election and handing it over to the incumbent governor, Uba Sani.

Dogo's accusations against Governor Sani and El-Rufai are related to the current police summoning of the former governor and the six ADC leaders. The PDP spokeswoman claimed that El-Rufai's actions led to the current situation where those invited by the police are mostly political opponents who left the All Progressives Congress.

The composition of those invited by the police in the current case mostly includes individuals who left the All Progressives Congress, according to Dogo. Those listed in the letter were El-Rufai's former Chief of Staff, Bashir Sa'idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed, Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Hussaini, also known as Mikiya.

The allegations against El-Rufai and the others border on criminal conspiracy, incitement of public disturbance, mischief, and causing grievous hurt. The summoning letter, dated September 4, 2025, was signed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department, Uzairu Abdullahi.

Interestingly, the PDP spokeswoman did not react to El-Rufai's police summoning but made several accusations against him and Governor Uba Sani. Dogo described El-Rufai's invitation as a "clear case of political witch-hunt" targeted at those who refused to align with the governor's camp.

Meanwhile, the PDP has accused Governor Uba Sani of hiding behind security agencies to clamp down on political rivals. The party's stance comes amidst the ongoing political tensions in Kaduna State, with the 2023 governorship election still a hot topic.
