He stated this in apost shared via his X handle @renoomokri on Monday, February 16, 2026.

The social media critic said not a single major ADC chieftain followed El-Rufai to his interrogation because they know the implications.

“Because they know the implications. By revealing to Nigerians and the world that he is part of a criminal hacking syndicate, Nasir el-Rufa'i has become a pariah. He has been given a long rope and has hung himself.
“But even more importantly, each of the above-mentioned African Democratic Congress leaders is now aware that even they can be hacked and wiretapped by el-Rufa'i and his criminal gang of hackers!
“If Nasir el-Rufa'i has your number, be afraid. Be very afraid!

No one wants to be tagged with that huge confession. They might show up if El-Rufai presented evidence, but he might not even have a chance to do so, coz why would you have access to NSA phone and still go on TV to say it!
