The family of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has distanced itself from a viral letter purportedly addressed to the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the document as false and unauthorised.
In a statement issued on behalf of the family, the alleged letter was dismissed as fake, with members insisting that neither the family nor any authorised representative had written or endorsed such correspondence.
The family urged members of the public to disregard the document, stating that it was intended to mislead Nigerians and create unnecessary political speculation.
According to the statement, any official position or communication from the family would only be released through recognised channels, warning against the circulation of unverified information on social media and other platforms.
The development comes amid heightened political activities and consultations ahead of the 2027 general election, with several political figures and parties engaging in coalition talks and strategic realignments.
Political observers say the circulation of unverified documents has become increasingly common during election periods, underscoring the need for the public to verify information before sharing it.
The family reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and urged the media and the public to rely only on credible and authenticated sources for information relating to Nasir El-Rufai and his family.
