Former Kaduna Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar deserves significant credit for leading economic reforms during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.

Abubakar was vice-president in the Obasanjo government from 1999 to 2007.

While he was Obasanjo’s Deputy, Atiku was responsible for overseeing the privatisation of national assets.

The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), led by El-Rufai at the time, operated under his supervision.

Speaking during a condolence visit to the family of Edwin Clark, the elder statesman and Niger Delta advocate who died on February 17, el-Rufai said Atiku deserves flowers for economic policy making under Obasanjo.

According to him: “Nobody gives Alhaji Atiku Abubakar the credit for economic policy making under the Obasanjo administration. Many of the things we did, we did under his leadership.

“Maybe because we don’t write about it, and people don’t read history, we tend to forget. We only remember negative things. Maybe it’s part of human nature.”

El-Rufai’s in 2016 criticised Atiku, accusing the former vice president of spreading falsehoods and even suggested that Atiku was haunted by “demons of corruption.”

Atiku shared a video of the visit to Clark’s family on X captioned: “Today, I led a delegation that included the former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai on a condolence visit to the family of foremost statesman and nationalist, Chief Edwin Clark. I prayed for comfort for the family of the man whose work was defined by his pan-Nigerian credentials.

“I reminded them that the passing of Clark was not only a loss to the family, PANDEF, and the Niger Delta but the whole of Nigeria that he had adopted as his constituency. The best way to immortalise him is for our leaders to promote unity and inclusiveness for which he lived and died for. May his soul continue to rest in peace.”

Power is going back to the people, not these notorious narcotics traffickers, certificate forgers, dollar-stuffing babariga thieves, and buccaneering power grabbers engaging in criminal state capture.

Jagaban is no political tsunami. On his own, he is not worth up to 500,000 votes. In fact, he has no electoral worth; he merely relies on the power of incumbency, governors, and others, as well as engages in criminal state capture.

This is why I keep telling people not to ever take Nigeria politicians serious ,once their selfish interest is at stake they will sell anybody out.
This is the same el Rufai that Atiku brought to obj , the same el Rufai that Atiku made sure he passed the Ibrahim Manti senate screening and even paid money on his behalf , the same el Rufai that turned against Atiku immediately obj made him minister and was attacking from every angle, he attacked Atiku against Buhari,same when Atiku went against Tinubu BUT NOW THAT TINUBU IS NO LONGER HIS ALLY ,HE IS. NOW PRAISING ATIKU .

I still think Alhaji Atiku is making a big blunder romancing El Rufai, El Rufai is like an agent trying to deceive A.A again.

My opinion though.

Jagaban that lost his State Osun and Lagos,if not for Elrufai that rallied Northern Govs for him

HIGHESTPOPORI:

So why did El Rufai lose Kaduna with a huge margin to the PDP? He even lose all senatorial, and most house of rep to the PDP.

He forgot to rally people in his own state?

His State is a traditional Pdp State

His State is a traditional Pdp State

So how did APC govern it for 8 years of El Rufai and current 2 years of Sani?

How Buhari take win Kaduna on multiple occasions if it’s traditional PDP?

Do you know the meaning of “traditional”?

Hellrufai twerking for atiku as expected.

Same atiku that sold all our assets lower than estimated price because he wanted a big kick back, only for the old crook to be apologizing later.


Thank goodness Tinubu knows how much of a traitor hellrufai is and started making inroads into southern kaduna.

Visionary politician, pBAT

Lol. So it's Atiku now? It's no longer the Accountant from Chicago?

Both u, your Atiku and the fake accountant from Chicago all of u are mad.

This northerners are living in the past, they just want power back as soon as possible, tinubu match them and pass though

even in kaduna of present el rufai is powerless, he's just pained the way tinubu ignored him, he's doing everything to get political attention, and for tinubu em never start 2027 politics

I enjoy politics no be small

He has gotten all the credit & more with his company Intels. I don’t know how a VP can be congratulating himself for economic reforms of an administration he never headed!
