ABUJA, Nigeria — In a resolute and measured response that has set the political arena abuzz, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu has categorically dismissed the incendiary allegations levelled against him by former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who spoke as a guest on AriseTV’s Prime Time on February 24, 2025.
Ribadu’s message was unambiguous: “I Won’t Join Issues With Nasir El-Rufai.” His refusal to engage in what he termed a “media fight” with El-Rufai underscores not only his current focus on national security matters but also a broader desire to sidestep the toxic political infighting that has increasingly come to characterise Nigeria’s political landscape.
