Immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, has severed friendship ties with his successor, Uba Sani and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
El-Rufai made this revelation on Monday when he spoke as a guest on ARISE TV.
According to him, Uba Sani and Nuhu Ribadu were his friends at some point, adding that now they were no longer friends.
The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said, “look, Uber Sani has been my friend for many years, but he is not my friend anymore.
“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.”
El-Rufai denied the allegation of corruption the Kaduna State governor accused him of, adding that despite the anti-graft agencies investigating him and his appointees, nothing incriminating had been found against them.
