Hajiya Asia El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to ensure her husband receives fair treatment, saying the family had endured trauma despite the support they gave the President during the 2023 election campaign.
Speaking alongside El-Rufai’s other wife, Aichatou, Asia said the family was not seeking special treatment but that her husband be granted bail on reasonable terms and given access to medical care.
The appeal came hours after the ICPC confirmed the arrest of El-Rufai’s personal physician over alleged false statements linked to a medical visit while in custody. Asia alleged El-Rufai had been denied access to adequate medical treatment and visits from relatives and lawyers.
Key Points:
The family’s plea highlights the human cost of the legal proceedings against El-Rufai
The appeal to Tinubu underscores the political dimension of the case
The arrest of the personal physician raises questions about the medical visit
The family’s trauma may generate public sympathy for El-Rufai

The ICPC trial continues. El-Rufai remains in custody, with his family appealing for fair treatment and reasonable bail conditions.
