Terrorism: “APC could also be behind Kwankwaso’s blacklisting by US Congress” – El-Rufai

Nasir El-Rufai, the previous governor of Kaduna State has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is likely to be behind the potential blacklisting of Rabiu Kwankwaso, an ex-governor of Kano State by the US of America’s Congress.

Talking throughout an interview on Come up Tv’s Prime Instances Present, the African Democratic Congress chief stated Kwankwaso’s refusal to hitch the ruling occasion may have been the genesis of his current ordeal.

Recall that the US congressmen led by Riley Moore had initiated a invoice aimed toward ending the alleged spiritual intolerance and human rights abuses in Nigeria.

The invoice, the Nigeria Spiritual Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, focuses on making sanctions in opposition to Kwankwaso, the Fulani Militia and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Affiliation (MACBAN) amongst others.

Reacting to the transfer by the US lawmakers, El-Rufai stated, “The APC could also be behind it as a result of Kwankwaso has refused to maneuver to the APC, and there are rumours that he’ll transfer to the ADC.

“In truth, I can not consider anybody else as a result of, look, 12 northern states carried out Sharia,” El-Rufai stated.

Additionally debunking the allegation that Kwankwaso is a fundamentalist and a non secular bigot, the previous governor of Kaduna stated, “The primary state to take action was Zamfara. I believed Zamfara needs to be listed there if in any respect anybody is to be blamed for this Sharia fiasco.

“So Kwankwaso isn’t one of many governors that you’d say was a fundamentalist,” he famous.
