Ribadu accused of saying Tinubu is corrupt
In the video, the former commissioner accused Ribadu of serving under President Bola Tinubu, someone he once castigated when he was the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
However, the NSA in a letter through his lawyer Ahmed Raji (SAN), said he had never shared such a view about the president, either in public or private. Ribadu then maintained that the Tiktok video had caused him unquantifiable damages.
Speaking on Ribadu's comment, Hajia Muhammad maintained her stance and said there was no reason to tension any apology, stating that the records were there.

Diving on the crisis, El-Rufai, taunted the NSA, adding that “Nuhu must have serious amnesia.”
The former governor maintained that there was a record of the events at the Senate where Ribadu commented in 2006. El-Rufai then shared the page of the Daily Trust newspaper dated back to February 2007. He added that such confirmed the essence of the comment.
El-Rufai also said that the conclusion at the Federal Executive Council in 2006, which record can be found at the office of the secretary to the government of the federation, contained the allegation.
The former governor said:
“In that Special FEC meeting in which I was a member, Nuhu’s EFCC made similar presentations accusing many sitting officials, sometime in 2006."
