A top member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and a former Minister of Nigeria’s federal capital, Nasir el-Rufai, has declared that members of the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) fear General Muhammadu Buhari (ret.) more than they fear God.
Mr. El-Rufai made the statement while speaking in a radio interview in Kaduna monitored online by SaharaReporters. He said, “They are always in a rush to twist what Buhari said because they are afraid of him. They try to do everything possible to paint the man black and they are not even afraid that one day they will stand before God and account for their action.
That is why I said they are more scared of him than they are scared of God because somebody that is scared of the day when he will face God will not do certain things. He will not create a lie and try to make it true. This is why I made that statement. And I think people should be very careful and very wary of whatever the PDP and its media say about General Buhari.”
Mr. El Rufai added that the “PDP has become a virus that is infecting and destroying the country because they are not doing anything productive. They have changed our politics into that of ethnicity and religion to divert attention from their incompetence, lack of capacity and looting of the treasury. It has become a clear and present danger to the existence of Nigeria as a nation and the prosperity of its people.”
In a separate development, SaharaReporters learnt that a group within the APC coalition was pressuring Mr. El-Rufai to run for governorship of his home state of Kaduna in 2015. We could not reach Mr. El-Rufai by phone to ascertain whether he had encouraged party members clamoring for him to run in the governorship race.

ReplyDeleteEl Rufai or wot they call ur name just fly like a fly and don't bother making so much noise. It is obvious that u are crying for attention. Your name has already been badly stained. You and ur cohorts Buhari are just wasting your time. You guys should go into ur closet and seek for God. Nigerians are more wiser than you think.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that Nigerian don't lyk better thing? We should better use pure water and wash our eyes dis tym around. Mek e no bi say na religion or ethnicity wey go dey our mind instead of who would work positively for d country(Niger)
ReplyDeleteStop talking trash El Rufai.Buhari has no pedigree as far as Nigeria is concerned.
ReplyDeleteMy dear editor, the need for vetting these comments before they are published is very urgent. 80% of those who are sending in these views are illiterates. The man is saying that people no longer fear God otherwise they will not be telling obvious lies just to discredit fellow beings.
ReplyDeleteBuhari once a failure
ReplyDeleteWhy would you be using PDP, Buhari Vs God in the first place? who is Buhari? i beg all your strategies cannot work at all therefore, go and sleep while my country enjoy peace.
ReplyDeleteEl-rufai has said it all. That is the truth and if you don't wanna listen, shut your dirty eyes so that clean write-ups don't gain entry into your rotten brain and by so doing become contaminated.
ReplyDeleteIn their worse state, Buhari and El-rufai would weigh heavier than the whole of the block heads gathered in the PDP; especially when GEJ is in the PDP side because he is less than a minus.
politicians have ednded up in programming average Nigerians, why is it that when some one from the north is saying something good but against some one in the north or south, commentators turn it to regionalism, tribalism, religious sentiments. Nigerians are more than this, we are civilized people. we should be able to accept the truth even if it were from our enemy,thats what make one a noble person.
