Media aide to Atiku Abubakar presidential candidate, Paul Ibe, has expressed his concern over the contrasting treatment of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and Osun East Senator Francis Fadahunsi. El-Rufai has been in detention for 178 days following his political departure from President Bola Tinubu's ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, while Senator Fadahunsi remains at large after urging his party members to kill opponents.
Ibe highlighted that El-Rufai's detention stems from his political shift from Tinubu and APC, whereas Fadahunsi has not faced arrest despite his call for violence against Accord Party members. He emphasized the irony of high-ranking Tinubu's APC members facing corruption charges but being acquitted and seeking election. Fadahunsi's controversial video, where he demanded the killing of Accord Party members, led to backlash, and he later claimed his request was for APC members to vote out Accord supporters.
