Former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has declared his intention to return to politics in 2027.

El-Rufai, who made his intention public in an interview on Freedom Radio Kaduna yesterday, also strongly denied the allegations by the Kaduna State House of Assembly that N423bn was stolen or misappropriated under his watch as the governor of the state.

“I intend to return to politics in 2027 after completing my studies. There is no retirement in politics. By the will of Allah, we will return and continue serving the people.

“I didn’t join politics to steal money or enrich myself. I was satisfied with what I had before becoming governor,” El-Rufai said.

The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, stressed that his administration had been accused of financial misappropriation without concrete evidence and that his allies were being targeted by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He noted that he has instructed his lawyers to take legal action against the people tarnishing his image.

“I have left everything to Allah’s judgment. I have prayed and will remain silent on the issue,” he said.

“You don’t need to hold a position in government to serve. We are still working with like-minded individuals who genuinely want to serve the people, not those seeking to enrich themselves,” he added.
