Asset declaration: We stand by our story on El-Rufai’s N90 billion worth —The Union Editor-in-Chief


Editor-in-Chief of The Union, the Lagos daily that today reported Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna as declaring assets to the tune of N90 billion and 40 houses in Abuja in the form he filled with the Code of Conduct Bureau, has refused to either apologise or retract the story.

“Well, for now, yes, we stand by our story,” Casmir Igbokwe told News Express this afternoon. “The story was based on information from our reporter. We have no reason to doubt our reporter. He got the story from reliable sources and he contacted his (El-Rufai’s) media people and Code of Conduct Bureau but they chose not to comment,” Mr. Igbokwe added.

On El-Rufai’s threat to sue, Igbokwe said: “He has the right to sue us; it is his fundamental human right. If he says what we wrote is false, let him release what he declared. We have no malice towards him. He should give us what he is worth.”

The seasoned journalist and media manager said The Union is against secret declaration of assets “as was done by President Muhammadu Buahrai, and now by El-Rufai,” as it does no good to the country’s democracy.

An ISIS member stopped the car of a Christian couple.

ISIS member: Are you a Muslim?

Christian man: Yes, I'm a Muslim.

ISIS member: If you are a Muslim, then recite a verse of the Quran.

Christian man recited a verse from the Bible.

ISIS member: Ok yallah go.

Later his wife tells him: "I cannot believe the risk you just took. Why did u tell him that we are Muslims? If he knew you were lying he would have killed both of us."

"Do not worry! If they knew the Quran they would not kill people" answered the Husband.

ISIS is not Islam, terrorism has no religion.

So also do we have some racist burning down black churches in Europe. Just a reminder that in every group, place and country there r rebels and bad ones who gives a bad image to the others.

Let's unite and fight evil. The problem isn't Muslims or Christians, the problem is the evil ones.

[size=18pt]So these people are complaining about 90billion.
They are very crazy.
This is a man that bought 900 plots land in jabi and katampe when it was worthless then proceeded to sell it at more than 300 million a plot after he moved development to the area after moved all development to the area making more than 270 billion in the process[/size]

ghen ghen.

90 billion naira for only this short man?

nna men this el rufai bu kwa doro-boss o.

personally I think the declaration of assets is meaningless. all those who have declared their assets in the past, and still stole billions of naira, are still enjoying their loot.

the code of conduct beureau is as useless as the empty buildings gov rochas built in owerri.

I THINK AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOULD INVESTIGATE, IF TRUE, FIND OUT HOW HE MADE THE MONEY (HE IS AN ESTABLISHED SURVEYOR THOUGH), IF THE CLAIM BY UNION IS FALSE, SUE THE PAPER, EL RUFAI, SUE THEM TO THE TUNE OF THE 900BILLION IF POSSIBLE, THAT MEANS THEY'VE PRAYED FOR YOU AND ANSWERED THE PRAYER BY THEMSELVES

Fellow Nairalanders, Meet me at this T-JUNCTION please, thank you

Wolves in sheep clothing masquerading as saviour of Nigerians. They have come to steal, kill and destroy Nigeria by declaring hidden and false assets in the hope that after looting they will make up to the same declared amount.
