The National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has strongly dismissed accusations by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, that he is orchestrating a political smear campaign against him out of an ambition to run for president in  2031. Responding through a public statement, Ribadu clarified that he has never discussed a presidential bid with anyone and is entirely focused on his national security duties and ensuring the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration. While urging the public to disregard the claims, Ribadu stated that he chose to respond only to clear the air, noting that he has consistently avoided speaking ill of El-Rufai out of respect for their shared past and families.
