After assessing the activities of Mallam el-Rufai as FCT Minister we conclude that, he is not a fit and proper person to hold public office in a democratic set up.

Former Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has been declared unfit to hold public office. He is also to forfeit a house he allegedly allocated to himself during the sale of Federal Government houses in Abuja.
In an interim report, the Senate Joint Committees on FCT and Housing which probed the FCT Administration(FCTA) between 1999 and 2007, said “el-Rufai is not a fit and proper person to hold office in a democratic setting.”

The committee’s chairman, Senator Abubakar Sodangi, submitted the report on tuesday.

The report upbraided el-Rufai over the sale of Federal Government houses in FCT, and recommended that his administration should account for N32billion balance of the proceeds.

Besides, el-Rufai is to account for funds collected by the Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS), Satellite Town Development Agency and Abuja Investments and Property Development Company Limited.

The panel also recommended that all those who disobeyed court orders then should be prosecuted by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).

A copy of the recommendations obtained by The Nation reads: “All officers who disobeyed or ordered the disobedience of court orders should be prosecuted by the Attorney-General of the Federation;”

“Also on the sale of Federal Government houses, the total receipt is N96.7 billion and deductions were N34.2 billion and the balance was given as N62.19 billion. The bank statements showed only N29 billion, leaving a balance of only N32 billion unaccounted for despite all demands from him and his officers.”

“After assessing the activities of Mallam el-Rufai in his duties as FCT Minister we came to the inevitable conclusion that:

•he should account for all funds collected by the ad-hoc bodies he raised during his tenure, namely AGIS, Ad hoc Committee on sale of government houses in FCT, the Satellite Town Development Agency, and Abuja Investments and Property Development Company Limited, among others;

•that the house he obtained for himself where he signed as lessor and lessee be revoked as a person cannot sell an item to himself; and

•that Mallam el-Rufai is not a fit and proper person to hold public office in a democratic set up.

I already said it that most freelance activists in Nigeria are doing it for future political gains or after losing favour from the corridors of power.

Most Nigerian Civil Right activists and Socio-political Critics lack the natural qualities needed for such a principled and selfless life.

Can you imagine a billionaire career civil servant preaching against corruption?

Can you imagine OBJ preaching about free and fair election after using Prof Maurice Iwu to rig selection?

Nigeria just dey amuse me with their scripted game/form of politics.

Good, fighting of corruption must start from somewhere, Mallam Thief el-Rufai must face the law, Barawo

Lol at corruption fighters. What happens to his ministerial ambition when APC win in 2015 election. Oga Elrufia run go do change of names to Yaro Dogonyaro.

No smart fone in prison.

Why are his fingers longer than he is

Mallam, I talk am say ur cup go full.

How many people have asked themselves this question:

# Does the constitution of Nigeria invest any power in the senate to bar any Nigerian citizen either born or naturalized from holding any public office?

But he is your friend

These are legislative recommendations that El-Rufai has every right to challenge in a law court and let`s see if those `allegations` are true, if so, he should be penalized accordingly and his conviction will automatically disqualify him from public offices.
Good move to curb excesses of civil servants like him.

St Hel-rufai may even be one of the sponsors of BOKO HARAM
APC

90% of Northern Politicians are deadly corrupt. They are responsible for bringing us to this rot

This is political witch hunt, El rufai is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria, he single handedly sanitized fct, he carried out his duties without minding whose ox is gored, now this is how these senseless legislooters reward diligent service? we have a looooooooooooooong way to go. SMH

elrufai always had a stormy relationhipthat started with the mantu/zwingina 52million naira scandal.be that as it may i am totally in support of corrupt officials been brought tobook via a trannsparent and just process which i strongly doubt was the case with tis senate inquiry

But he is your friend

does it matter? If he found guilty being my friend will not serve him.

is this not an old story?

Seriously?
Best resolution to ever come from the National Assembly.

This is the other side of progressive politicians who think they can fool Nigerians with their cheap lies while underneath they all have a lot of nasty shit they think they can continue to hide.

so hell-rufai 'sold' a house to himself?
how apt!

if anybody is surprise about this, I am not cause from the onset I've always known that nothing good will come out from a character like El-rufai, let wait and see as his past progressive looting will continue to unfold.

What well meaning commentators need to be asking is: why none of these recommendations, which were made in 2009, have ever been implemented.

He should be charged to court immediately, if he is convicted, he will not be able to hold public office, while we are at it, Oduah too should be charged to court alongside El-Rufai.

The Accidental Public Servant by Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai sums up the beef the Senate had for him back in service.Y'all should try & read up the book for his own side of the story.

senate barring that thief el rufai does not exernorate them. what of lawangate? why is he still holding public office? Abeg charity begins at home. Their corrupt collegue should be dealt with first b4 anyother persons
