But in 2015, 2019 &, 2023 when Mallam El-rufai escorted Bulaba to Chattam House & Bulaba almost sh!t his pants👖due to pressure from that interview & was directing some answers to El-rufai.
Back then he was the role model of you Agbadorians abi?

No worry, una don cast finish.

Pay no mind to the slithering snakes. They will get a befitting response come 2027.

You forgot the revelations by Obasanjo on Tinubu from the same book, My Watch.

Unity begging has started. They were arrogant just 3 years ago. What's in it politically for the Southeast to support Tinubu in 2027? Facing pressure from the North, Tinubu arranged a shady theatre yesterday with a Southeastern monarch to lay the grounds for the release of Nnamdi Kanu but it will not be enough. He shouldn't have jailed him in the first place unless he intends to boost his false sense of megalomania by taking credit for his pardon.

Is this a sponsored post?

500 billion naira secured. Abba Kabir said the same after decamping. We all saw the "massive" crowd at the grand reception that made someone quickly divert to Yola after getting the intel. Time is a gentleman.

What happens to ongoing NNPC-financed critical infrastructure projects like OB3 gas pipeline and AKK since the states will now be sharing these money with the FG? Is the solution to Nigeria's challenges just handing over more monies to state governments without accountability and enticing them to your party? Why are so many MDAs grossly underfunded despite these much celebrated revenue drive?

An Amitolu from Osogbo is congratulating an Uba Sani in Kaduna for being appointed as Renewed Hope Ambassador. Is Uba Sani the new bride now? It was Elrufai just 3 years ago. Man, beware of slithering snakes!

“Unless betrayed, our loyalty and fidelity to friends are permanent and pensionable. Unless reconciled, our opposition and enmity to traitors are permanent and pensionable.” - El-Rufai

Nasir the Victorious, will come out of this unscathed as he always does, but Tinubu might just be the first ex-president to be tried and made to account for every single penny both during his time as governor and his 4 year stint as president. By then, he will no longer be in a position to "win over" folks like Ribadu, FFK, Bwala and Reno to his side by offering them appointments and financial inducements. Time is a gentleman.

The now NSA Ribadu investigated Tinubu and confirmed that he was sitting on over 75% of the Lagos State funds.

Over to you APC data boys and girls, show me one video where Peter Obi was accused of sitting on state funds or stealing.

Make Tulumbu and his boys finish their gragra, we they wait for them.... Mallam is not new to all these rubish... We will pay them back in1000 fold Insha Allah 🤲

At all. Mallam has been here before. This usually happens before he sends them packing.

LibertyRep:
Highly predictable.

But Mallam too fumbled with that unnecessary and avoidable slip.

Lol. There is no case. He will meet them in court and beat the case.

chatinent:
Everyone could easily predict it.

It's all initial gragra until alliances is made.

No alliance will be made. There will be no pathway to re-election in 2027. History has a funny way of repeating itself. In the end, Nasir the Victorious, will triumph!

We said it that APC will implode before 2027, but Agbadorians thought we were mincing words. Now they have begun to pummel themselves, and it's not even primaries yet. This maximum shishi must go round.

boxypane:
You You ma no understand yourself, work with me, then the DSS uncovers the evil atrocities he committed and flags him... How does that become betrayal? Was the President the one that instilled terrorism tendencies on him? You've picked the wrong one this morning. This your type of evil don't go around, it picks specific targets like yourself.

Okay. Many years ago, the EFCC under Ribadu also uncovered massive corruption perpetrated by the then governor of Lagos. He was subsequently "compensated" with the ACN presidential ticket and is now NSA. Sounds familiar right? Does Reno, Bwala and FFK ring a bell? Are we seeing a pattern?

The now NSA Ribadu investigated Tinubu and confirmed that he was sitting on over 75% of the Lagos State funds.

UrVillageChief:
Mvmv, so you mean the oral admittance by Rufai himself is not enough evidence?
He wasn't accused of doing it, he voluntarily admitted to doing it himself. Make una dey apply sense for this opposition thing o.
The hefty implication of what Rufai did is that If terrorists, for example, had planned to attack your community to kill your mother, father, wife and children and the FG government had received the Intel and had planned to stop the terrorists, El-Rufais having unfettered access to our security officers' phones would mean that they could easily divulge the classified information to the attacking terrorists and that's how your entire generation becomes history. Do you now realize the devastating consequences?
Not everything is meant to be defended all in the name of opposition politics. In a sane society, El Rufai wouldnt escape the capital punishment for uttering such.

Okay, Barrister Village Chief. The law doesn't care about your hyperventilation above.

Section 36(11) of Nigeria's 1999 Constitution (as amended) provides that no person shall be compelled to give evidence against themselves in a criminal matter.

This was Ribadu against Tinubu before Tinubu made him ACN presidential candidate. Just like Reno Omokri, Bwala and FFK, he no longer means what he said.

The now NSA Ribadu investigated Tinubu and confirmed that he was sitting on over 75% of the Lagos State funds.

His intelligence is why he admitted he never supported Tinubu and only did so when the party picked, or rather, when Tinubu defeated the others to clinch the presidential ticket.

El Rufai went to ask Buhari who they should support during the primaries and Buhari told him to support whoever they please.

If El Rufai supported Tinubu, how come Tinubu lost Kaduna State in the presidential election?

If El Rufai is that popular and his intelligence made Tinubu president, how come APC almost lost Kaduna during the governorship election? If El Rufai is that popular, how come his own son refused to follow him to ADC? If El Rufai is so popular and intelligent, how come ADC is not existing in Kaduna State?

If El Rufai can make anyone president, why can he not make himself one?

El Rufai did not make Tinubu president. Those who voted for Tinubu and those who divided the opposition stronghold made Tinubu president.

Peter Obi contributed more to make Tinubu president.

What's wrong with that. He had his candidate before the primaries and simply supported the winner of his party's primaries in the general elections. Peter Obi, Atiku and Amaechi all have their supporters and they have promised to support whoever wins the primaries in the general election. Isn't that what democracy and freedom of choice is about? Should the winner of the election now embark on vendetta on those who didn't support him before the primaries after winning? Must everyone be subservient to your tin-god from ab-initio and be prepared to sing the mandate song at all times?

If Sanwo-olu and Gbaja supported Tinubu, how comes Tinubu lost Lagos, including his polling unit at Bourdillon to Obi? Can the people of Kaduna state love Tinubu more than Lagosians whom he governed? Tinubu got 400k votes in Kaduna. Name any other Southwestern state aside Lagos where he pulled higher number of votes. Anyways, Time is a gentleman. We are only setting the records straight so that history will not be rewritten.

FSBoperator:
Datiya's spirit is what will finally destroy this evil El Rufai family.

Maybe or maybe not. And your comments on Tinubu's corruption case?

FSBoperator:
Stale .

El Rufai's two sons are now under intense interrogation at the DSS.

One of them will crack and confess sooner or later.

Imagine going on twitter to boast openly about the abduction and disappearance of someone,

Dadiyata will get justice!

Amen. We pray he does. Justice is not tantamount to your predetermined preferences though. Tinubu too will face justice someday. This was Ribadu accusing him of corruption. That was before he was offered the ACN presidential ticket. Just like Reno Omokri, Bwala, FFK and all those who accuse him. He responds by offering them appointments. This matter will be revisited.

The now NSA Ribadu investigated Tinubu and confirmed that he was sitting on over 75% of the Lagos State funds.

Phone tapping will be part of the charges, but murder and abduction is the koko.

By the way, why are you defending this psychopath who abused his powers and was a terror to the people of Kaduna whom he was supposed to protect and govern?

El Rufai cup don full.

Was Tinubu aware of this when he was busy making Tinubu president?

El Rufai go national TV go talk say he dey bug everybody's phone, una dey hail am.

Security people hold am, una say he no get capacity.

Who do una this wayo medicine

The Almajiris made Tinubu president with 5.6m votes. He was resoundingly beaten by Obi in the South, even in his polling unit at Bourdillon Road. Obi will defeat him again in 2027. Show some respect to the Almajiris!

Una don begin change mouth again abi? After having seen the futility of the phone tapping charge. Well, bring it on!

And yet, this is the result? Imagine if he hadn't prepared.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm honoured.

boxypane:
But he has never gone through the trauma of spending quality time with the EFCC. Bros calm down, it seems you've been his account since the days he was FCT minister, no matter how you paint evil good, it will it always show its true self. I will talk from the point of view of Kaduna South people to you, may you experience a pinch of what they went through. Maybe your seemingly myopic mindset about being an E-worrior will be beating to reality.

He has. He was sued to court and he defeated the EFCC in court. This won't be any different. He remains the best DG BPE till date. Best Minister of the FCT till date. Best Governor of Kaduna till date. Who has been better? The records are there.

lapintoz:
Propaganda.

So this 100 fulani boys hiting PBAT poster has decided 2027 election. I guess in favour of your preferred candidate Atiku. The only born to rule clan.

Ba damu wa. We shall see

Pictures from the mega grand reception in Kano. Your man Friday got the intel and quickly diverted to Yola. Last picture was same Abba Kabir under Kwankwaso in 2023. Same venue. Time is a gentleman.

DoTheNeedful:
At least Tinubu has not betrayed Ribadu over the past 20 years of working with him. OBJ did not betray the North as a military man and a military Head of State. Forget about the betrayal nonsense.

How many times has the North betrayed other parts of Nigeria? How many times have the Fulanis betrayed various indigenous people of the North? Each time I hear "Sultan" or "Emir" in any part of the North, all I hear is betrayal, not conquest. Stop the pontification!!!

Even Buhari wanted to play a smart one on Tinubu and the SW APC in 2022. The North in 2022 still voted en masse for Atiku despite just concluding 8 years under Buhari.

Lastly, while El-rufai was vocal during the naira redesign, I am one of the people who felt that he never genuinely supported Tinubu. That partly explains why Tinubu performed poorly in Kaduna. In fact, Tinubu did better in Adamawa than in Kaduna. His worst performance or so in the North was in Kaduna. Yet, few weeks later, APC did very well in the state election.

Lol. He betrayed Ribadu in 2011 by supporting Jonathan of the PDP. You will be back to claim the ones currently supporting him didn't support him once he wins. How many APC state governors delivered their states? APC had 21 governors in 2023 and Tinubu only won 12 states. Half of those 12 were not even APC-governed states. Did Tinubu deliver himself in his bourdillon polling unit in Lagos state, which he governed and in Osun where he originated from? Why expect Elrufai to do the impossible by marketing alcohol in the middle of Mecca? Tinubu was simply bad market in 2023 and it wasn't due to Elrufai. Tinubu got 400k votes in Kaduna and 500k votes in Kano. Aside Lagos which he lost to Obi, tell us one Southern state where he polled better numbers than that of Kaduna.

Don't go with this mentality in 2027. Having 30 governors will not make Tinubu win 30 states. Don't come back to say the governors worked against your tin-god. Not all of them will kill their people like in Rivers just to deliver your tin-god. It was simply an impossible task. Seyi Makinde will be joining the ADC, I guess it's safe to say that he will deliver his state to the ADC then. You see how that sounds?

This one was quickly pushed to frontpage but how about this? A balanced narrative is always ideal. Nigerians know what their lived realities are.

professorPABX:
Bashir El Rufai is very intelligent , Social Media people with not put Mallam into problem. I believe by the Grace of God, Mallam El Rufai would be out of this. Your level of reasoning is for nairaland. If a General that was retired from the Army by government over a contentious issue announced that he is planning a coup against the government with some of his boys in Brigade of Guards is arrested by DIA, will the Court of Law be asking DIA to proof that a Coup has taken place?

I will not answer you again because I know the next thing is for nairaland to delete my response and ban me as usual.

Don't just come back to claim it was a "behind the scenes" settlement when he beats the case in court.

This was the crowd in Kano with Shettima and 30 governors in attendance. No wonder he quickly diverted to Yola. "The guy is gone!".

Despite teaming up with all Kano APC heavyweights, see the crowd Gov. Abba pulled at his official reception into APC 🤣

NairaMaster1:
Are you saying there's evidence even when someone confessed on national television?

Or you have retrieved the audio from the TV station.

You forgot that his burden is much? The court will ask him to provide the other parties that are listening to the NSA with him

If the NSA has not told you that his line was being listened to? What crime will you be trying Elrufai for? Okay, I stole your money from your wallet yesterday, or rather, someone told me he stole your money from your wallet yesterday. Oya, sue me to court for theft or compel me to provide the thief for your money that's not missing. Or is it? If yes, how much? How did I do it? Prove with evidence, it was me who did it. It's simple logic.
