Elrufai Says Buhari is Better Than Obasanjo!

In a sensational switching of sides, Malam Nasir Elrufai, the controversial former minister of the FCT, who served under former President Olusegun Obasanjo as first Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and later minister has today declared that Major General Muhammadu Buhari, his new found love, is better than Obasanjo whom he served!

In a tweet on his twitter profile, Elrufai, who was President Obasanjo's blue eyed boy made his true intention known about his former benefactor. As usual, NaijaPundit brings you the tweet below.

During the last days of the Obasanjo administration, the former EFCC Chairman described El-Rufai as the "de facto No. 2 official", tagging him with the role of a Vice-President, especially after the fall-out between the former President and his Vice-President. It is believed that Obasanjo's trust and confidence in El-Rufai angered a vast number of the political elite within the country. Indeed, it was widely believed that the former President was considering blessing EL-Rufai as his successor. However, it was believed the vast political powers against him were too much, probably as a result of the fear of what may happen to them once he was in power.

Flowing from the above, Obasanjo would no doubt consider this latest controversial remark from Elrufai as a stab in the back!

His statement is all the more confusing for Erufai's followers as the same Elrufai had in October 2010 thoroughly insulted Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) saying amongst other things that "Mallam El-Rufai wishes to remind General Buhari that he has remained perpetually unelectable because his record as military head of state, and afterwards, is a warning that many Nigerians have wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known. In 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his ADC’s father to enter Nigeria unchecked at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new. Against all canons of legal decency, he used retroactive laws to execute three young men for drug-peddling after they were convicted by a military tribunal and not regular courts of law. Buhari was so high handed that he gave himself and his officials immunity even from truthful reporting. That obnoxious Decree 4, against which truth was no defence, was used to jail journalists and attempt to cow the media as a whole. That tyrannical legislation shows the essence of his intolerance. These are facts of recent history.The story of counter-trade and import licensing, the cornerstone of Buhari’s stone-age economic strategy and those whose interests it served, is a tale for another day."

But it appears that Malam Elrufai has changed his mind on Buhari today.

Nigerians are beginning to get used to Malam Elrufai who also on Twitter cursed supporters of President Jonathan.

He also famously called those who gathered for the National Summit at the Sheraton hotels and towers to call for a Sovereign National Conference "fools at 40 or 70"

We know that he is better but he is an islamist jihadist, group of people that has killed nigeria by hausalizing and fulanizing every government parastatals

Anything North is better than anything South.
Including terrorism, religion, ethics and integrity.

Na you know. Go lick their yansh

Let truth be told: Buhari is by far better than Obasanjo. There are incomparable.

BUt ElRufai is part of Obasanjo and will never earn my vote in an election. He cannot be trusted

The mumu is chewing the hands that fed him.

How does this affect the price of petrol

even before now, many of us know that buhari is 200% better than the one that sleeps with his daughter inlaw.

El-Rufai is a big for nothing f**l. He thinks he can achieve anything by sitting behind a phone and typing rubbish. Someone who seized peoples houses in Abuja and gave to his girlfriends and daughters. Let him say all he wants, Buhari will never rule this country again! El-Rufai will never be relevant in government. Shi kenan!

Thief wey carry Gun and thief wey dey pick pocket are all thiefs, so both Buhari, Obasanjo and Elrufia are all Thieves

This is one truth from the north. Obj was a Nigeria disaster.

Anyone who switches sides to suit himself should never be trusted, I follow this man on twitter and he is a hater d way he insults blatantly. Rather than continue criticizing, and if he knows too much, what is bad if he drop suggestion to problems than insulting pple of d offices of Nigeria. There are more sensible pple in the north like B. Saraki, ribadu who can make positive impact in this nation,not like Elrufai who is 2 faced.

Says anoda abokin boko haram

Get this pig a job. He's jobless.

A bitter man. . . .

Can you see yourself labelling a whole group of people as being useless? What a post from a most uninformed, unexposed and unschooled racist, tribalist. Go back to school please.

One God created all humans and we are same

Far better than any living or dead past and present head of state. True talk.

Itz not about d north, Elrufai is a fool @ 50 nd should never b trusted.

Why didn't he tell us dat when he was bn fed by the obj's regime? Let him know that its not evry1 dat has short memory

OBJ as a president he bleeped himself up.

But he tried as head of state.

El Rufai is like most chameleons of his type; bitter, hateful and flowing with falsehoods.

Can someone shut this imp up?

My homeboy is jobless so wetin una dey expect?

Can this people not shut their mouth?

Sour grapes! Buhari is beta dan OBJ nd so wot? It is only fools lyk el-rufai that spends precious time discussing pple instead of ideas. Wot is needed in Nigeria now is not who is beta dan d oda but useful suggestions that would move the country 4wod.

There's this quote"before you can point accuse finger make sure that your hands are not dirty". They are all thieves.

How does this affect the bargaining price of ashawo in Sabon Garri Kano or 45 Allen Avenue in Lagos
