In a bold and surprising statement, former Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasiru El-Rufai, has sworn by the Holy Qur’an, declaring that he did not embezzle public funds during his time in office. This revelation came during a public address where El-Rufai emphatically challenged other Nigerian leaders and politicians to take the same oath if they are truly innocent of corruption.

In his address, El-Rufai said, “I am ready to swear by the Holy Qur’an that I did not steal any public funds while in office. Let those who think otherwise come forward and do the same.”

But that’s not all. In a twist that has left many Nigerians talking, El-Rufai revealed plans to return to politics in 2027. After stepping away from the political scene for further studies, the former governor hinted that his re-entry could reshape the political landscape. “I will be back in 2027, and I assure you, it will be a different Nigeria,” he added.

El-Rufai’s declaration comes amidst increasing public scrutiny of Nigerian political figures, with many citizens calling for transparency and accountability. As news of his potential comeback spreads, many are eager to see whether he will keep his promises and if other politicians will follow suit in swearing by religious oaths to affirm their innocence.

While some praise his boldness, critics are skeptical about whether his return to politics will bring about real change or just more of the same rhetoric.

With Nigeria’s 2027 elections looming, all eyes are on El-Rufai and his next moves. Will he stay true to his word, or will his political aspirations spark even more controversy? Only time will tell.
