Epic Flashbacks: El Rufai's Interview With Vanguard In 2012 by arabbunkum: 8:59pm On May 12, 2016
Epic Flashbacks

Read what Malam Nasir El-Rufai said in one of his Interviews with Vanguard newspaper on January, 08, 2012.

"If another government was in power, let us assume General Buhari was the President of Nigeria, he would not withdraw the subsidy. He will fix the problem. He will audit who is taking the money in the subsidy, who is paying what, how the money multiply three times in one year and fish out the thieves and deal with them".

The journalist asked Elrufai the following question and read what he said...

"So, why do you think Jonathan lacks the political will to deal with them?"

"Because they financed his election. But Buhari would have sorted that out. That is the first thing to do. Now, while you are paying the subsidy, even one quarter of what you are paying is a lot. General Buhari's administration would have ensured that within 12 months all the refineries are working at full capacity. His administration would have built the fourth refinery that will bring our domestic production to the point that we don't need to import a single drop of petrol. And once we can produce our petrol from our own crude oil, at out own cost, we can sell it at any price we like. That is what Buhari's government would have done. Nigerians made a very big mistake for not electing Buhari, and they are learning every day. Many people have told me that they voted for Jonathan and they are regretting it now."

He continued, "There is no question of Buhari withdrawing subsidy because he has been Petroleum Minister, Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) and so on. He built three out of the four refineries we have in this country. And he built that out of patriotism to ensure that we can produce domestically. So, the question of withdrawing subsidy would not even be on the table".

Sponge:

Now you know who are re enemies of Nigeria. The ball is in your court.
