The Digest:
Former Kaduna governor Nasir el-Rufai, while arriving at the state high court for his ICPC trial, asked an associate: "So tomorrow is our convention, right?" The associate responded: "God willing." El-Rufai is standing trial on charges of alleged abuse of office and fraud. He is also expected to appear at the federal high court in Abuja on April 14 for his bail application. The ADC national convention is scheduled for the same day.
Key Points:
- El-Rufai referred to the ADC convention as "our convention."
- He is facing trial alongside Amadu Sule on fraud-related charges.
- A separate bail application is scheduled for April 14 in Abuja.
- INEC had earlier derecognised the David Mark-led ADC faction.
- The convention is proceeding amid ongoing litigation.
