FG plans to assasinate tambuwal- nasir el rufai

Former minister of Federal Capital Territory and
Deputy National Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir El-
Rufai has reacted strongly to the removal of the
security details attached to Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
Recent withdrawal of Aminu Tambuwal’s
security details by the Federal Government was
regarded as an immediate threat to the
Speaker’s life and health. The former minister
even accused President Goodluck Jonathan of
planning to eliminate Tambuwal with sniper-
assasins “purportedly groomed by the
President”.

Tambuwal formally declared his defection from
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to All
Progressives Congress APC. El-Rufai expressed
his assumtion to newsmen after picking his
expression of interest and nomination forms as
the APC governorship aspirant in Kaduna State

of President Jonathan withdrew the Speaker
security aides.” The former
minister also reminded the Jonathan
government that impunity had limitations, saying
that the Nigeria government should learn from
Burkina Faso, when the people were fed up with
the government.
