Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has disclosed that some lawmakers left the All Progressives Congress (APC) because they thought President Muhammadu Buhari may arrest and prosecute them.
Speaking to newsmen in a media chat, the governor said Buhari dislikes corruption and will not work with any corrupt politician.
He said: “Why did these people (senators) leave APC? It’s because they love bribe and were afraid of what President Muhammadu Buhari will do to them if he gets re-elected. This is just the truth.
“What joined them together is that they love bribery and corruption and they are afraid President Muhammadu Buhari will deal with them.
“Nobody will criticise this government for lack of performance because they are trying their best. If the senators were honestly supporting the president, he would have achieved more than what he currently achieved; but instead they are sabotaging his effort.”
