El-Rufai persecuted me for wrong tweet I acknowledged, deleted – Audu Maikori
Audu Maikori Accuses Former Kaduna Governor of Persecution
Audu Maikori, founder and chairman of Chocolate City Entertainment Group, has accused former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai of persecuting him over a tweet that he later acknowledged and deleted.
During an interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” on Monday, Maikori alleged that El-Rufai orchestrated his abduction, asserting that it is inappropriate for a governor to perform law enforcement duties.
Maikori differentiated between prosecution and persecution, claiming that his experiences under El-Rufai constituted the latter. “El-Rufai persecuted me for a wrong tweet I acknowledged and took down. He organized for me to be abducted,” he said.
He added that his driver had recanted information he initially provided, stating, “I was let go by the police, and the next weekend, El-Rufai was trying to link my tweet with the possible death of seven people.”
