WE ALL NEED AN EL RUFAI.

Omen Bassey, Esq.

I had long learnt that life isn't a straight line. We can only do our best to avoid troubles but we can't predict the twists and turns of our lives.

Apart from God, we all need a friend who can stand by us through thick an thin; a friend who celebrates our achievements and helps to ameliorate our failures. In fact, we all need an El Rufai.

El Rufai has demonstrated an uncommon friendship and exemplary solidarity with his friend, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi in his moment of great trial and isolation.

The Governor could have distanced himself from Sanusi and could conveniently describe his travails as self inflicted. He could have attributed his dethronement to his arrogance, stubbornness, carelessness, loquaciousness etc.

After all, he is a Governor and Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's traducer, Alhaji Abdullahi Gandule isn't just a fellow Governor but his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Rather, immediately after the announcement of the dethronement, he gave him two appointments in about twenty four hours and immediately went ahead to visit him at Awe, Nassarawa State where he was banished to. These gestures aren't as easy as people think. He has risked a lot, and probably his relationships to do these.

One important lesson to be learnt from El Rufai's gestures is the need to befriend those who share our values and understand our worldviews. Friendships struck only on the altar of shared opportunities will seldom survive seasons of trials and adversities.

El Rufai as Governor could claim to be too busy and too overwhelmed by state matters to even give a serious thought to the plight of his friend, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

It's not about money or even the appointments. As former Managing Director of First Bank PLC, former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), world renowned Economist and internationally recognised corporate guru, many big organisations and blue chip companies will be willing to benefit from his wealth of experience.

What he needs most at this critical time of his life is encouragement from genuine friends and understanding relations. This is exactly what his friend, Mallam Nasir El Rufai is offering and relentlessly so.

Like Sanusi, we all need an El Rufai.
