You are a man of courage — Atiku tells El-Rufai on birthday

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has congratulated former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on his birthday, describing him as a man of courage and uncommon intellect.

Atiku conveyed his message in a post shared on his Facebook page on Monday, where he praised El-Rufai’s strength of character and contributions to public service.

In his tribute, the former vice president noted that despite what he termed ongoing political persecution and distractions, El-Rufai’s clarity of thought and commitment to purpose remain evident.

“Happy Birthday to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. A man of intellect, courage, and uncommon sagacity. Even amid the present political persecution and needless distractions, his record of service and clarity of thought and purpose remain undeniable. I wish him strength, peace, and Allah’s guidance in the years ahead,” Atiku wrote.

El-Rufai, who governed Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023, remains a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political space.
