Mohammed El-Rufai, the eldest son of Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has stated that he is in favour of the Kaduna State Government’s investigation of his father’s administration, so long as it is carried out with impartiality and clarity.
Mohammed emphasised in a Saturday interview with the BBC Hausa Service that although accountability is important, any investigation must concentrate on finding the truth rather than settling personal scores.
However, the House of Representatives lawmakers who represent the Kaduna North Federal Constituency warned against using investigations as a political tool.
“If done for selfish reasons, such inquiries only harm progress,” he said.
Speaking further, Mohammed stated reconciling his father and his successor, Governor Uba Sani, is not his responsibility, saying that the rift between the two is being exaggerated in the media.

Mohammed, however, stated that he was not happy with the ”cold war between his father and the governor, considering the role both played in his life.
Emphasising his commitment to serving his constituents, Mohammed stated that his priority is effective governance in his constituency and not mediating in the ongoing rift.
He said, “Some people are delighted, seeing my father and the Governor enmeshed in a conflict, just like the legendary Bollywood actors, Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra fighting.”
