I will remove my father if he threatens Nigeria’s interest – El-Rufai.

The former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, clarified that he is not mobilizing against the current administration, but is rather concerned about the rising security challenges and the country’s economic situation.

During a press conference in Kano, he emphasized his stance against any individual or action that threatens Nigeria’s interests.

He further stated that even if his father acted against the nation’s well-being, he wouldn’t hesitate to oppose him because Nigeria’s welfare takes priority.

He said, “Yes. I am not mobilizing against the present administration. This is not about the present administration or power.

“It is about Nigeria’s economic and social conditions. Are you happy with the current situation? If you are not, let’s work together to find solutions. But if you are happy, it is okay.

“Go ahead and do ‘Emi lo kan’ which means it’s my turn. Look, this very trivialisation is a very serious threat to the existence of Nigeria.

“It is not about one is against the government of Nigeria, I am against anybody if Nigeria’s interest is threatened. Even if that person is my father, I will take him out because Nigeria is more important than that relationship.

“I went to university and got educated. I can face anyone anywhere in the world with confidence because of what Nigeria did for me. I want that opportunity for every young Nigerian.

“It doesn’t exist now. This is what some of us are fighting for. If you say it is because of this or that, I can say thank you.”
