Former Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, Nasir el-Rufai, has described the President Goodluck Jonathan
as petty and incompetent.
El-Rufai on Tuesday in an interview with SaharaTV, while responding to a question on the insinuation that President was against Mallam Lamido Sanusi being installed as the Emir of Kano.
“Unfortunately, he descended to that
level; it is so sad, and it is a reflection of the kind of people we
have running our country. The Federal Government did everything to
frustrate Sanusi Lamido as Central Bank Governor, removed him abruptly
from office, and got people to publish fictitious stories about him. “
He added, “When God is set to elevate you, no one can bring you down. Whether Jonathan likes it or not, Sanusi is the Emir of Kano.”
El-Rufai debunked reports on the Internet that the new Emir had apologised to Jonathan, describing the report as false.
He said, “Sanusi that I know will not
beg anyone for anything when he is right. There is nothing Sanusi has
done in office that is not proper, and there is nothing Jonathan could
have done to stop him from being the Emir, since the kingmakers had
already recommended him, and the governor has appointed him.”
On the issue of the abducted Chibok
girls, El-Rufai said, “If Nasir el-Rufai is involved in Boko Haram, what
are they waiting for? Arrest and prosecute me.”
He claimed that the Presidency was full of “liars. They only know how to point fingers to anyone for their incompetence.”
El-Rufai further challenged the present
administration to fix the current security challenges in the nation or
risk being “crucified” by the opposition.
