Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said he bears no hatred or resentment towards former colleagues, friends and family members who have chosen not to stand by him amid his current circumstances.
El-Rufai made this known in a statement titled, “My Relationships and the Aftermath,” released on his X handle on Wednesday.
The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory explained that his support for people and causes over the years was motivated by his Islamic faith, Arewa upbringing, personal values and conscience, rather than expectations of praise or repayment.
He acknowledged that people he had previously supported were free to decide how they would respond to his present situation. According to him, some might speak up, others could remain silent, while some might distance themselves from their former relationships.
El-Rufai said his recent experiences had prompted him to reflect on the nature of certain relationships, stressing that such reflection should not be interpreted as condemnation.
He maintained that he had no regrets about supporting people when he believed it was right and said he would not seek revenge or retribution for any injustice or injury done to him.
The former governor stated that ultimate accountability belonged to Almighty Allah and that his priority remained maintaining peace with his conscience and God.
He further emphasised the importance of forgiveness, dignity and emotional restraint, urging people not to allow difficult experiences to determine their character. El-Rufai’s remarks highlight his perspective on loyalty, personal relationships and the challenges that can arise when individuals face periods of political or personal uncertainty and changing circumstanc: El-Rufai, Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State, Nigerian Politics, Current Affairs.
