Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second

The family of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has rejected a letter that is going around on social media and claims to be signed by a leader of the African Democratic Congress.

In a statement released on Thursday by his son, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, speaking for the family, the document called “Urgent Message” and dated July 14, 2026, was said to be fake.

The statement says the letter, which was claimed to be sent to the National Chairman and National Secretary of the ADC, was not written by the former governor.

It also says that the former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, CON, wants to inform the public that a false letter is being shared, which appears to have his signature.

“The spurious letter, purportedly dated July 14, 2026, and addressed to the National Chairman and National Secretary of the ADC, should be disregarded,” the statement read.

The family said neither the content nor the handwriting in the document belonged to El-Rufai, urging members of the public to ignore it.

“Neither the poor content nor the handwriting has anything to do with Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

“The fake letter shows another resort to desperation by Mallam’s traducers who seek to sow confusion and division. Their attempt at politics by fakery should be dismissed and condemned.

“It is an instance of the most primitive politics and its sponsors should be ashamed of themselves,” the statement added.

It alleged that Ashiru’s nomination had created tension within the party because he failed to complete the party’s online membership registration before the April 30, 2026 deadline, which it described as a constitutional requirement.

The letter also called on the party’s national and state leadership to intervene and review the matter.

However, El-Rufai’s family insisted that the document was fake and urged the public to disregard it.
