Former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has disclosed that he no longer shares a friendship with his successor, Uba Sani, or the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
El-Rufai made this revelation during an interview on ARISE TV on Monday, explaining that although they had once been close, their relationship had changed over time.
“Look, Uba Sani has been my friend for many years, but he is not my friend anymore,” he stated.
He went on to elaborate on what friendship means to him, emphasizing loyalty and support during difficult times.

“For me, the word friendship is a very important concept. God gave us our relatives. He chose our relatives for us, we have no choice, but thank God, we can choose our friends.
“A friend is someone that has some fidelity, some ethical and moral standards and will be there for you when you need him, not when there is time to party or enjoy.
“Those that are my friends know that I will be there for them when they need me, and I will rise and defend them. That’s what I call friend. Uba Sani is not my friend, (Nuhu) Ribadu is not my friend. They were my friends at some point, but not anymore.”
Addressing allegations of corruption leveled against him by Governor Sani, El-Rufai dismissed them as baseless. He pointed out that despite ongoing investigations by anti-graft agencies into his tenure and that of his appointees, nothing incriminating had been uncovered.
