Third term fund: Anti-graft agencies to quiz el-Rufai

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) have started comparing notes, preparatory to a possible arrest of former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rafai, over statements credited to him about the sharing of money meant to prosecute the alleged third term bid of former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Sources said in Abuja, on Sunday, that the anti-graft agencies were interested in el- Rufai’s claim that he knew the treasurer of the alleged third term project.

The former minister had, in an interview on the African Independent Television(AIT) programme, Focus Nigeria, said he was part of those who shared the money.

When asked about his role in the third term agenda and why he was silent in opposing it, el-Rufai had told the presenter: “The treasurer of third term is well known, go and ask him. It is a matter of strategy, you have a situation and it is affecting your country, you can be a media darling and go out and say I am against this, I have resigned, that is one strategy, it is a credible one. But we met and discussed as a group and consider that option and we said we are not going to do that.”

But it was learnt in Abuja that the anti-graft agencies had concluded plans to seek out el-Rufai, so that he could give them more details on the treasurer of the third term agenda.

A source close to one of the anti-graft agencies said since el-Rufai claimed to have helped in sharing the money, he would be in a position to give detailed identity of the treasurer.

The Witch hunting of el rufai don begin . Vindictive mofos..

He mentioned Andy Uba as the treasurer of the failed third term bid. This is another fruitless pursuit, and an attempt by the toothless and gum-less anti-graft agencies to appear busy. Even if those involved open up about their roles in the failed attempt, can ICPC/EFCC effect the arrest of OBJ *their oga at the top*? Yeye dey smell!

Let The short mallam face the fire and let's see what he will be clean,he is making too much disrespectful these days.Someone that has given public land to friends,girl friends and family members is talking abt corruption,is it not absurd?El rufai is always talking as if he is a saint..we all know that he is a big rogue,time will tell all..

Retardeenic GEJ is squirming now that everyone now calls him by his proper name: retardeen scumbag! The man to blame for it is el-Rufai so the dead EFCC has been given a shot in the arm to go hound him!

If el-rufai and Pat Utomi was placed on a pedestal to be voted for ...would you rather vote for el-rufai? if no, why?

When Obasanjo established the EFCC and made Nuhu Ribadu the chairman, people were accusing him of using the EFCC to witchhunt his political antagonists and those against his third term bid.

What should we now talk about GEJ with his recent use of the same EFCC that has been using the same agency against Nasl El Rufai base on the recent statement he made and also Obiageli Ezekwizili?

^^^^^^ Speak for yourself....

Stallion77: We are easily derailed by bandwagonism...most of us dont even know the personality of this man called el-rufai. We just saw a trend and an opportunity to haul verbal stones because we choose not to think for ourselves and followed suit....that is why Nigeria is the way it is... We need to chat a course of criticizing with common sense not resorting to name calling...but am not surprised. When u stop thinking, u will be amazed at the ''wonders'' u culd stoop to!

you could have made a statement for yourself in your own word.
