Former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir el-Rufai has alleged that President Umaru Yar’Adua is desperately looking for reasons to send former president Olusegun Obansanjo to prison.

Chatting with newsmen at the Nigeria High Commission in London on Tuesday, shortly before submitting his application for the renewal of his passport, el-Rufai claimed that Yar’Adua has been looking for any excuse to send the former president to jail.

“It is just that Yar’Adua has not got enough proof to send him (Obasanjo) to prison. What do you think the power probe was all about? They want to get him. I know Yar’Adua very well. He is vicious and unforgiving”.

El-Rufai said when the fall-out between him and Yar’Adua started, he told Obasanjo that he did not want his intervention or reconciliation, stressing that President Yar’Adua was a person who will only reconcile when he is down on his knees. “As President, he is not going to be on his knees”.

“Obansanjo hand-picked Yar’Adua as president. Yar’Adua was his project and now he is after him. You can’t create a problem and then intervene. I would rather Obansanjo spends time saving himself than saving me”.

On his declared intention of going home to Nigeria, El-Rufai said: “I intend to spend my Christmas in Nigeria by God’s grace, but I haven’t fixed a date a yet”.

He said many people have told him not to go because they were concerned about his safety and security, but he insisted that he was more concerned about his safety that anyone else.

He said he was very much aware of the risks he would face if he went home, but stated that he was prepared to take the risk for the sake of Nigeria and his desire to bring about positive change in the governance of the country.

“You can’t change a bad system without taking risks”, he said. “If we all keep away from Nigeria, the country will not change (for the better) and the criminals will continue to dominate”.

El-Rufai said Nigerians must learn to stand up and fight for their rights, lamenting that Nigerian liked blaming others for their problems instead of standing up to challenge those responsible for their woes.

“Nigerians should group together and put pressure on President Yar’Adua to make him wake up to his responsibilities”.

He blamed Yar’Adua for the waning of influence Nigeria used to have on issues and events in Africa and the world at large. “Under Obansanjo, when Nigeria goes to summits, it speaks for Africa, but under Yar’Adua, Nigeria sits in the back row.

The former FCT minister who stated that he had no immediate plans to vie for any elective position in the near future however said he was ready to team up and work with anybody to change the way things were being done in the country.

Instead of yaradua plnning to jail obasanjo, he should be planning on how to change this country,yaradua is just a pathetic case we have to cope with, i still insist that obasanjo was and is still the best leader nigeria has ever had.

This character needs to get lost. 'ready to team up' How many chances do you need. Come home and face the music.

Obasanjo:

“This boy [Yar'adua] has turned out to be a terrible disappointment,” an angry Obasanjo was quoted as bemoaning to close aides, adding: “if there is one mistake that I have come to regret in my presidency; it was to make that idiot [Yar'adua] president; the boy is just too stupid,” sources privy to the conversation told Huhuonline.com. Such bland criticism was quintessential OBJ, who is known for his sometimes blunt and undignified utterances.

if that's yar adua agenda, then obviously he is SICK!
please give us constant power, is that too much to ask?

@ sjeezy8,
finally u are back from the rocks.

@@@

we always know obj is an idot!

the boy what

no commmmmmmmmmmmment

fukin idot

then what is he still waiting for. Ate we no longer in Nigeria? let him be fast about it b4 that idiot thinks of a way to escape it

Obasanjo is very smart and almost the only person who has a vision for a better Nigeria(whether he be theif or not).

He get brains wey pass anyone else in Nigeria.

^^^^ How so?

Am totally tired of hearing about those three buffoons; OBJ, Yara and El-rufai.

"god" please make them go away!

^ ^
U got that right.
They are all bufoons.

While they will go away some day,you can bet your bottom dollar that day ain't coming anytime soon.

Sjeezy is a buffoon. Seriously I know you are die hard Yoruba tribal simpleton and will defend and praise any Yoruba person even if he was a combination of Idi Amin and Hitler but bro stop the BS. Obj and Yaradua are the same and I hope they kill each other jare

^^^^ If I had my way,i'll lock the two of you together and throw away the keys. I won't release you two until your tribalistic differences have been sorted out.

you are very stupid everything you think is tribe, i mean shut the fuckup for once fagget

@ chimp
i doubt anyone can name anyother person who can be a better president or more qualified then OBJ.
Olu falaee hell no!!! ojukwu hell no!!! a northerner without obj's help hell no!!!

The only thing obj fumbled was the Nepa/phcn and installing yaradua, he even admits it was a mistake.

^^

lol every Nigerian crook has his supporters club

OBJ has sjeezy

IBB has BigB1

And these are the nigerian youths Achebe is banking his hopes on?

What the hell!

can you think of anyone who is better than OBJ ? ^^^^^^ at his time?

Is that what the topic is all about?
Besides, I dont settle for mediocre.

^^^^ lol you dont settle for mediocre
you are a dreamer and fuckin unrealistic

Who achieved more than obj, if obj is mediocre?

Naw Sgayzy,
I am not the tribal simpleton. You are. OBASANJO? We all know how you'll defend anything West of Niger so naw u SHUT THE FUCCK UP.

Achebe is wasting his breathe and youths like him. OBJ Tufiakwa!!! Iknow a bad leader when I see one regardless of ethnicity.

Chimp, talk to ur brother

Im not saying hes da best im saying hes better than anyone else in the west and east put together

Im asking you who could have done better than OBJ?
its a simple question fagget

^^^^ If we can't find a better leader amongst a population of 140million people, Nigeria I must sadly say is bleeped for life,don't ya think so?

^^^^ yes indeed

Obasanjo is a different breed of guy. He doesn't care about any damn afenifere,mend or biafra BS. Before obj was in office everyone was still hiding behind tribal names, he was the first to reach across tribal lines no doubt. He was even the first to want to terminate military rule. 

When he dies and if Nigeria has worse leader, Nigerians be sayin how "better" Obj was.

Who is still arguing with this guy about OBJ?

@ nuzo
i always think why do you end up in threads why? you never have shit to contribute so. . . . . . . why are you on NL?

i take it you miss Nigeria sooo much you joined a site for Nigerians

I will want to also know what you contribute to threads if not to incite tribalism?

sjeezy8:

Tell me something else I dont know.

Does Yaradua need a reason to jail OBJ there is no short supply of reasons OBJ is as guilty as Ibori, lets forget all this people i am surprised we seem to have forgotten el rufai so soon all h wants is attention. I can place a bet that on arrival he wont be bothered by anyone because Yaradua has no reason to grudge him.
For me i think OBJ is the real mistake we made as a nation anything you can think of that OBJ gave with his right hand i bet you he took 3times with his left, I believe that Yaradua will perform better.

nuzo:

I will want to also know what you contribute to threads if not tribalism?
I take it that you were so high on something very dangerous to the brains when you were writing this.

Im still trying to figure out where triablism is in this thread?

and im still waiting for yaradull to better
