El-Rufai to Reassess Some Relationships After Friends' Silence During Trial

Nasir el-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has said he will reassess certain relationships, citing friends he previously defended who have now left him on his own. The former minister expressed this view in a statement shared on X. El-Rufai is on trial over accusations involving money laundering and the conversion of public assets. He has remained in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission since February 19, following his release by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
