‘If Nobody Will Do The Dirties, El-Rufai Will Enter The Mud Himself’ – Atiku’s Aide, Olarenwaju

The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), 2027 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarenwaju, has said the embattled former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, is a unique Nigerian politician.

NEWSNGR recalls that El-Rufai has been detained by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences Commission (ICPC) since February 19, 2026.

The former governor is also undergoing a judicial trial amid health challenges and the arrest of his personal physician, which has generated outrage among the ADC and political elites.

Reacting to the development, Olarenwaju, in a post on his 𝕏 handle, explained that El-Rufai is unique in the political space due to his clear-headedness and strategic thinking.

According to him, El-Rufai is not only a planner but is also ready to get involved in dirty work regardless of his status.

Olarenwaju added that ICPC would soon have no excuse for detaining him.

He wrote: “What makes El-Rufai unique in Nigeria’s politics is his clear headedness and depth of strategic thought with tactical implementational balance.

“He is not only a planner but if nobody will do the dirties, my man will off his white and enter the mud himself. Hate to love him.

“They will eventually run out of excuses to keep holding the man and then the nakedness of their hypocrisy will become too glaring to be concealed from and ignored by the outside world. Till then, it’s solidarity and courage.”
