Former Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory and Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives
Congress, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, said on Saturday that President
Goodluck Jonathan was playing ethnic and religious politics to divert
attention from bad governance.
El-Rufai, who was guest of the week at a
Liberty Radio programme in Kaduna on Saturday, warned that Nigeria
could not afford another Civil War.
Besides, he said the Peoples Democratic
Party was afraid of former Head of State, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, and
would therefore do everything possible to denigrate him.
El-Rufai said, “It is the political strategy of Jonathan to always use ethnicity and religion whenever there is a problem.
“Whenever there is a big issue about
excess crude account or subsidy issue, they bring this issue of
ethnicity and religion. But I have not lost hope because I know that
Nigerians can see through their pranks and their game and will vote them
out in the next election. The challenge for the next president is to
build trust among the various ethnic groups so that Nigeria can walk
towards one direction.
“This country has gone through one Civil
War; I don’t know of any country that can survive two civil wars and
those that are stealing crude oil; buying and stockpiling arms should
know it is not the number of arms you have that decides who wins a war.
“I know that Nigeria will survive these
bad and incompetent leaders, who steal during the day and drink and
womanise at night instead of working for the Nigerian people.
“The PDP has evolved from a party that
is trying to be democratic in its practices and to have decency in its
governance to one that has become a danger to the people of Nigeria and
the only person they are afraid of, who is their nightmare, is Gen.
Buhari.
“So, anytime Buhari makes a statement or
does anything, the PDP machine will be at work to twist whatever he
says in other to destroy his character and give the impression that he
is a religious and ethnic zealot.
“The truth is that the PDP is scared of
Buhari`s integrity and his track record of doing the right thing and
ensuring that people are brought to justice when they break the law.
They are scared of that day when he will become President because they
are afraid that he will call them and ask them the source of their
unexplainable wealth.”

ReplyDeleteDon't sujjest that all that are part of a certain corrupt government are corrupt unless you want to give yourself away as a bigot. El-rufai has a track record like his mentor Buhari who is not only difficult to fault but impossible to do the same.
ReplyDeleteOfcourse, GEJ has always been a tribalistic. Imagine a president who says he is voted massively by the east so they should benefit more of his kind gestures. To be candid, if he had benefitted them, I will be happy for in developing his origin he is developing Nigeria. But what has he done to them? Mtssss.
