Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has said he bears no resentment towards friends, colleagues and family members who have chosen not to stand by him. He addressed the issue in a statement titled “My Relationships and the Aftermath.”

El-Rufai noted that some people had expressed concern about the silence of those he had previously supported or been closely associated with. He explained that over the years he stood by people and causes he believed in, sometimes at personal cost, without expecting praise or reciprocity.

He said those he had helped were free to decide how to respond to his current situation. Some might speak out, others might remain silent, and some might even deny their past relationship with him. He stressed that he did not wish to judge them for making different choices.

According to the former governor, adversity has a way of revealing the true nature of relationships. He said the experience might lead him to reconsider some of those connections, but that this reflection should not be seen as condemnation.

El-Rufai stated that he has no regrets about supporting people when he believed it was right, and he seeks neither revenge nor retribution for any injustice or ingratitude. He said he leaves ultimate judgment to God and remains focused on staying at peace with his conscience.
