El-Rufai made the comments during an interview with BBC Hausa, stating that the political struggle to challenge the government has only just begun.

“You know, when that government came, I was among the few people who came out and told her we would oppose it and remove it. There was nothing I did not say. If they had anything against me like they claim to have against others, the matter would have long been settled,” El-Rufai said.

He added, “But even if you want to accuse me, make sure you prove the accusation. I am waiting; whoever invites me, I will go.”
