The family of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has disowned a letter circulating on social media and purportedly signed by the African Democratic Congress chieftain.

In a statement issued on Thursday by his son, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, on behalf of the family, the document, titled “Urgent Message” and dated July 14, 2026, was described as fake.

According to the statement, the letter, which was purportedly addressed to the National Chairman and National Secretary of the ADC, did not originate from the former governor.

“The former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, CON, wishes to alert the public that a fake letter is in circulation, purported to have been signed by him, titled Urgent Message.

“The spurious letter, purportedly dated July 14, 2026, and addressed to the National Chairman and National Secretary of the ADC, should be disregarded,”
