I'm surprised he got support from certain people because of their hatred for BAT. Elrufai is a wicked fellow and pained that he was outsmarted in the political decisions of the present government. A bigot and can't take a pinch of what he has done to people

You cannot benefit from a man you claim to be evil only to betray him and then claim you outsmarted him. That only makes you an accomplice. Elrufai made Tinubu president and he will unmake him.

Churchgoers love El-Rufai as long as he is fighting Tinubu. Though Churchgoers know that El-Rufai almost wiped out all Christians in Kaduna state, Churchgoers don’t care as long as El-Rufai is fighting Tinubu

Yet, Tinubu went everywhere with him during campaigns and he made Tinubu president. What's the message here again?

FatimaAbubakar:
I opened this thread and all the comments have been hidden, yet the topic dey front page.

If you cannot see their comments, they are all Agbadorians and have blocked you because their egos are too fragile. If Elrufai is responsible for all kidnappings as a governor, why don't other state governors get blamed for the kidnappings and killings in their states? Has insecurity improved in the country and even in Kaduna after Elrufai? No, despite the current governor negotiating with bandits via so-called "peace deals". The president remains responsible for security as far as Nigeria is concerned and this has not changed.

Ndimkpurummiri:
Back then on Nairaland, IPOBidients flooded threads calling Nasir El-Rufai the very definition of failure — mocking his policies, attacking his record, and insisting he symbolized everything they stood against. His name was used as a synonym for FAILURE

Fast forward to today, the same voices that once ridiculed him now hail him as a hero, defend him passionately, and speak as though they have always stood by him. The narrative has flipped, the tone has softened, and loyalty has shifted.
The internet never forgets.

The greater shift is that of Agbadorians who hailed Elrufai as Tinubu's successor when he was doing all the heavy lifting, fighting cabals and even taking Buhari to court over naira scarcity in order to make Tinubu president. Back then Tinubu hanged on to Elrufai, taking him everywhere during the campaigns, including to Chatham house and publicly begged him on stage to jettison his plans and stay back to help his government while swearing not to leave the podium until Elrufai does so. Agbadorians made the greatest about-turn ever seen in the history of this country immediately after Tinubu's inauguration. Elrufai is now the devil to you lot but the day of reckoning is fast approaching. Slithering snakes!

Nothing to see here. Tinubu is on his way to Kebbi to watch a fishing festival and solicit for hausa/fulani votes. After that, he will visit Kano and then Adamawa to receive their decamping governors. He will attend to you later.

Lol. I'm now convinced that Wike's camp is just looking for a pseudo-victory in order to save face. Fubara has simultaneously praised Wike in the past while calling him a cornered rat, a barking dog and a corner-corner master.

IkeOnyia:
All things being equal, APC will win Rivers state landslide as Wike and Fubara are now on the same page. You have to give it to President Tinubu for being a strategist.

Are they? Is that what you got from the write-up? Who will be APC's gubernatorial flagbearer in 2027?

In the South, Tinubu has the Wike and Fubara obstacle to climb. In the North, he's struggling with Elrufai and his fast eroding Northern goodwill. This is why treachery and betrayal does not pay. Agreement is agreement.

It's all game
Learn to use your enemies

Fair enough. When he returns to the North to campaign in 2027, all his political promises will also be seen as a game and the North wiill best him in his own game. Afterall, they made him President. Unfortunately, the government also appears to be playing games with the lives of Nigerians.

Same person wrote this on same issue:


I understand you’re simply doing your job, and it seems your performance is measured by how often you comment. Still, it might help to consult someone before weighing in on subjects you clearly don’t grasp. This particular matter is, quite unmistakably, beyond your depth.

I sincerely hope you're not slow. What's the correlation between the two comments? Kindly stop stalking me from thread to thread. Get on with your life.

If Elrufai committed a crime then that means Tinubu is complicit for going everywhere with him during the campaigns and even delegating security questions to him at Chatham house. He even publicly begged Elrufai on stage to promise to stay behind and work with him or he will never descend from the podium. Slithering snakes!

Why not? Otti will eventually join the APC anyways. Don't forget that despite the performance of Alex Otti, he only became governor due to Obi's wave. He had previously contested under PDP and APC without success until he aligned with Obi. Notwithstanding, he's not obligated to move to Obi's current party. He will be dieing to prove now that he can win elections based on his own popularity.

Elrufai's salvo has hit its target just as he intended. The ball is now in Tinubu and Ribadu's court. This is high stakes chess, not checkers.

Mitsurugi:
Seunmsg and his crew are hypocrites with short term memory. A short term memory that hypocritically serves any extant nefarious agenda.

Just remember that with these guys El Rufai was a darling just less than three years ago doing expo for Tinubu at Chatham. Buhari was the next best thing to butter once upon a time.

Tinubu lost the 2027 elections on the day he betrayed Elrufai. Agbadorians will come back to this post.

Mitsurugi:
Seunmsg and his crew are hypocrites with short term memory

To them, all vice is okay as long as it's Tinubu benefitting from it.

seunmsg:
The Obama administration bugged the phones of so many presidents including leaders of NATO countries. With the right equipment, anybody’s phone can be bugged illegally.

Now that El-Rufai has admitted without duress to committing the crime on national television, he will be picked up and prosecuted. That’s the only thing Nigerians are interested in.

It's not by typing ferociously on Nairaland to farm "likes" from the WhatsApp group. Get Ribadu on phone and ask him to arrest Elrufai for tapping his calls. Just make sure the line is secure while at it. You wouldn't want that one tapped too, or would you?

seunmsg:
Damage control. Your father goofed and he will be arrested and prosecuted for bugging the phone of the NSA in the middle of a major war against terrorism.

A war-time NSA whose phone calls can easily be bugged does not inspire so much confidence, or does he? The last time, it was his vehicle that was stolen at National Mosque, Abuja. We are waiting. By the way, we weren't in war times when APC bugged Obi's phone call with Bishop Oyedepo and released it to the public. We were only in an election season. Did they get a valid court order to do so?

Lol. Agbadorians do not know a bait even if it smacks them hard in the face. Will the NSA admit his line has been tapped and proceed to arrest Elrufai? That will be an own goal because he will still not be able to pin anything on Elrufai.

Read Farook Kperogi's write-up on the matter. Elrufai has made his move and it isn't a slip of tongue. The ball is now in Ribadu's court. This is chess, not checkers!

He just splurges cash on them and calls himself a master strategist afterwards. Meanwhile, all MDAs in the country as well as local contractors are crying out for being underfunded and unpaid.

Globad:
But the 2027 Lent fasting period falls in the same period

Chai

Is there anything that can’t be criticized?

Take it to January 2027 or December 2026 and they will still complain

The gubernatorial election also falls on a sallah day. Will that day be Easter as well or it doesn't matter? The INEC cannot be making such rookie mistake with such important dates. It suggests they didn't do their due diligence or it's deliberate. Either ways, it doesn't look good on them as far as competence is concerned. It only reinforces the claims of those that have accused the INEC chairman of bias.

callmeDDD:
And also thousands of the Christians killed and displaced in southern Kaduna. It was ganduje that came from Kano to do that. They think they are talking to the mmumus. Yes, some mmmumus like the one up there will defend him and agree with him. Why did it him 10s of years to come out and say this, despite he has being at the centre of the controversial abduction especially when it is now closer to election periods. Expect more of this type of news from them all. Propaganda and instigating people against their opponents. Elrufai has lost his glory. 2027 will nail him out of power totally.

But Nigerians, not only Christians, are still being killed now and even long before Elrufai became governor. Talks of Christian genocide have never been louder than it is now. Is it still Elrufai killing them? Tinubu won elections by campaigning to stop the killings. Why now passing Tinubu’s responsibility to Elrufai? Did you do the same for other governors? Didn't Tinubu tell Jonathan that when it comes to issues of security, the bulk stops at the president's desk? Tinubu didn't even visit Kwara after the killings but he's travelling to Kebbi today to attend a fishing festival and solicit for hausa/fulani votes.

TimeMachine2:
May whatever happened to that young man in the hands of El rufai be the portion of your children. Amen

Tinubu’s water carrier. What young man in the hands of Elrufai are you talking about? Keep crying.

Image123:
He evidently talks too much. Imagine agent saying on national TV that they can hear his enemies calls. He don go talk all our secrets. Imagine if e dey front of terrorists wey dey grill am. He go just dey sing every song in many music keys.

How did APC get hold of Peter Obi's phone call with Oyedepo? Did they secure a valid court order before tapping his line?

Lol. Don't you know a bait when you see one? It will be a bigger indictment on the NSA, admitting that his phone lines were tapped. Elrufai never claimed he tapped the line. We expect the NSA to release a statement tomorrow clarifying that his phone lines are secure and have not been tapped. What has Elrufai to lose? Agbadorians are already setting the stage for the impending betrayal of Ribadu. We know the love is fake. Besides, when APC released Peter Obi's phone call with Oyedepo, did they get a valid court order before tapping his line?

From Peter Obi to Elrufai. Deji Adeyanju is the newly minted water carrier for Tinubu. We wonder why he took so long and disguises as an activist instead of owning it with his full chest. So the DSS personnel left their office to the airport just to seize the passport of a man returning to the country on his own accord? Did they secure a valid court order to do that or are we now under a gestapo-like government?

Did he say that? He said he couldn't have had anything to do with Dadiyatta because there's no motive. Dadiyatta was a Kwankwassiya supporter and a Ganduje critic who only happened to reside in Kaduna. Dadiyatta's twitter is still up. He never for one day criticised Elrufai as the narratives have pushed for long. A lie may be halfway across the world before the truth gets its shoes on but the truth will always overtake it.

And heaven will not fall!

Lol. Tinubu’s water carriers are having a wankfest on this thread. When are you all charging him to court?

He never visited Kwara but he's going to attend a fishing festival in Kebbi to solicit for votes.

Oshin56:
but Mallam don jam person wey pass him

Are you sure you are not counting your chicks before they are hatched?

We know it was a concoction from the Chicago City boys movement to smear your name. In any case, it has put Tinubu's incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu in the front burner. Own goal for them, if you ask me.

Robertgreene1:
I dont like El Rufai. He's as dirty as Sin just like all the other Naija politicians from A to Z. But just give it to the man. He's really got some balls. And if there are like five or four other politicians in the opposition that got balls like me, then Nigeria is safe from sliding ever closer to a full-blown dictatorship!!!

It's because he keeps his records squeaky clean. Beyond media trials and headlines, they can't pin anything on him.
