The El-Rufai Support Group Association has announced the engagement of Vanguard Africa, a Washington DC-based international advocacy firm, to lead a campaign about what it described as the erosion of the rule of law and abuse of due process in Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, ERSGA said Vanguard Africa would coordinate outreach to officials of the United States administration, members of Congress, relevant agencies, pro-democracy institutions and multilateral stakeholders on its behalf.
According to the association, a regulatory filing published by the US Department of State indicated that Vanguard Africa would plan and execute outreach to U.S. Administration officials, Congress, relevant bureaus and agencies, pro-democracy institutions, and multilateral stakeholders for ERSGA.
ERSGA said the campaign was focused on the case of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, whom it described as a reformer and senior statesman with decades of public service.
“Vanguard Africa will plan and execute outreach to U.S. Administration officials, Congress, relevant bureaus and agencies, prodemocracy institutions, and multilateral stakeholders on behalf of ERSGA, among other activities in the United States.
