Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has withdrawn his fundamental rights enforcement suit, valued at N1 billion, against a chief magistrate at the FCT Magistrate’s Court.

Isa Ashiru, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kaduna State, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Former Kaduna governor El-Rufai is experiencing public scrutiny while dealing with private grief, having lost his sister-in-law and mother within a week. Northern Governors, represented by Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, joined dignitaries and mourners at the National Mosque Abuja for the funeral prayer of his late mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai.
