El Rufai prepared for court action to clear his name from the allegation of being a “security threat,” a tag that was used to disqualify him during the Senate ministerial screening, according to Vanguard.
“You think Mallam will allow this tag to abide on him? I can assure you that he is going to clear his name in court.
“El-Rufai is a man who has many contacts internationally and he is not one to allow his reputation to be smeared by the reason given by the Senate of being a security risk,” A source told Vanguard.
