A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Lawal Batagarawa, has said the former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is entitled to be treated fairly like any other Nigerian.
Batagarawa made this remark on Thursday during a live appearance in an interview programme on Trust TV monitored by DAILY POST.
He was reacting to the phone-tapping allegation and other cases hung on the former governor.
Recall that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, had stormed the Abuja residence of the El-Rufai in line with the case.
Speaking, Batagarawa stated, “El-Rufai, like every other Nigerian, is entitled to be treated fairly before the law.
“But if you try to make that in the statement he has made as finality of being guilty, then that is wrong. You cannot judge outside of the competent court. So that’s the point we are making.
“El-Rufai should be given the full protection of the law. In this case, due process is not being followed. Due process should be seen to be followed openly, transparently and most importantly, fairly.”
