Hajiya Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, appeals to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure her husband receives his constitutional rights as he faces prosecution. Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, Asiya told journalists that the family is not seeking special favour, but fair treatment under the law. She also said that, as people who campaigned for Tinubu, they expect respect for El-Rufai’s rights during the legal process. Asiya made the remarks alongside El-Rufai’s second wife, Aichatou, who was also present at the briefing. The reports describe Asiya’s position as a request for due process, without detailing specific allegations, charges, or the status of the case. Both outlets frame the intervention as a call for adherence to constitutional protections while prosecution proceeds. The family’s public statement focuses on the right to fair treatment rather than on the merits of the prosecution itself.
