Gkingmusik reports that Baba-Ahmed, during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, described the strained relationship between Ribadu and El-Rufai as poisonous.

According to the former presidential aide, the situation between Ribadu and El-Rufai is troubling for Nigeria’s political culture.

He further urged El-Rufai to limit the damage that has been done.

He said, “I am extremely saddened by the development. I know both gentlemen and the depth of their personal relationship, and I see this as one of the poisonous elements of our politics.

“If you can actually poison a relationship of this nature so deeply, then we are in very serious trouble. It is very saddening to see this relationship degenerate to the point that their personal bond is now so poisoned that nobody seems to consider the consequences. We are dealing with a situation of two friends threatening to take legal action against each other.

“Mallam El-Rufai, by character, is a very difficult person to advise. If I were to advise him, I would say there are so few fronts worth fighting. Try to limit the damage and focus your attention on addressing allegations that you stole money from the people.”
