Nasir El-Rufai is taking a stand against what he calls "executive overreach" following his arrival from Egypt. The former Governor is demanding an apology and the immediate return of his passport, claiming that security agencies are acting like they are above the law.
Why He is Fighting Back:
Broken Rules: His legal team listed five major constitutional rights that were violated, including his Right to Liberty and Right to Own Property (referring to his seized passport).
Illogical Demands: He pointed out that the EFCC sent him an invitation while he was already out of the country for medical reasons, making it impossible for him to show up until his return.
Face-to-Face: Despite knowing he might be targeted, El-Rufai says he chose to return to Nigeria to face any inquiry rather than hiding abroad.
Legal Action: He warned that he will be suing the agencies involved to make sure this kind of "arbitrary" behavior doesn't happen to other citizens.
