All we demanded was a warrant as required by law. They have shown one to my lawyer over the weekend. We will report & hear them out. — Nasir El-Rufai (@elrufai) January 27, 2014
We are resisting lawlessness & impunity. Gov. Amaechi suffers this in Rivers. I am honored that Amaechi & APC are supportive of that stand! — Nasir El-Rufai (@elrufai) January 27, 2014
