Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President has paid a visit to the residence of Abubakar Malami, a former Attorney-General of the Federation even as he calls for the immediate release of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State.
This disclosure was made Monday via Alhaji Atiku’s X page. The former Vice-president explained that the visit became expedient following his recent return from Saudi Arabia where he performed Umrah.
“I led a delegation on a solidarity visit to the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, following my return to the country on Saturday night from Umrah (lesser Hajj),” he said.
“I wish to serve notice to the authorities detaining former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, and all other political detainees to release them henceforth.
“No one should be detained simply because they do not share the same ideology or political platform with the government of the day.
