The wife of former Kaduna State Governor, Hajiya Asiya El-Rufai has said that her husband does not deserve persecution having worked for the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 elections.
Asiya, who stated this on Tuesday in Abuja while addressing journalists alongside El-Rufai’s other wife, Aichatou, appealed to the President to allow El-Rufai to be given a lenient bail condition.
She noted that the family was not asking the President to interfere with the judicial process or halt the prosecution of El-Rufai, but to ensure that he enjoys the constitutional rights available to every Nigerian, including access to medical care, family members, lawyers and bail on reasonable terms.
