Ribadu To El-Rufai: I Won't Join Issues With You by fergie001(mod):
I WON'T JOIN ISSUES WITH NASIR EL-RUFAI

My attention has been drawn to the interview granted by Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna State Monday evening.

If my silence wouldn't risk being construed as consent, I would have ignored him. I am too preoccupied with my current assignment as to get into a media fight with Nasir El-Rufai or anyone else.

Despite the incessant baiting and attacks I have never spoken ill of Nasir on record anywhere. This is out of respect for our past association and our respective families. I will not start today.

I however urge the public to disregard El-rufai's statements against me.

For the avoidance of doubt, I want to put it on record that I have never discussed running for president in 2031 with anybody. All my focus and energy are geared completely towards the advancement of Nigeria and the success of the President Tinubu administration.

I therefore ask Nasir El-Rufai to allow me face my onerous national assignment just as I do not bother myself with his own affairs.

That is the maturity of a leader, you don't throw stones at every barking dog else you never reach your destination.

Obj made the monumental mistake of making the midget minister of FCT when he was a mere neophyte, now, the midget who has no relevance in his own state thinks he owns Nigeria.

Re: Ribadu To El-Rufai: I Won't Join Issues With You by emkz:
El Rufai. You have fought the following persons throughout your career in public service:

(1) Ibrahim Mantu whom you accused of soliciting a bribe to confirm you minister.

(2) Jonathan Zwingina whom you traded such accusation. These men did not quite clean their reputation before they died. I am not sure you supplied evidence to back up your claim.

(3) Atiku Abubakar whom you thoroughly insulted in your book. You accused Atiku of brazen corruption and trying to influence the sale of government assets to cronies. You devalued Atiku to the point that it seemed as if you had a personal axe to grind with him. This same Atiku was your benefactor as he recommended you to Obasanjo. Now that you said Atiku needs more credit for Obasanjo's economic reforms, do you still believe in what you wrote in your ill-fated book? If you do, why should we trust your sudden volte-face? As for Atiku, I wrote a list of people you should avoid. Add El Rufai to that list.

(4) You made comments undermining Buhari when you referred to him as "Pa Buhari", urging him not to contest. You also said you'd help someone in Lagos dismantle a godfather. You turned out to try to be a major beneficiary of those two candidates. You rode on Buhari's back to become Kaduna governor. You wanted to make yourself a de facto vice president but was urged to face your responsibility in KD.

(5) Despite being in Obasanjo's kitchen cabinet along with Nuhu Ribadu, Oby Ezekwesili and FFK, Obasanjo did not find you worthy to confide in you his plans to anoint Yar'adua as his successor. You probably reasoned he'd go with you. If he didn't trust you, it tells something about what he felt about you.

(6) You spoke negatively against Yar'adua and went on exile. What did Yar'adua ever do to you?

(7) You have the ambition to become president. There is nothing wrong with that. However, go about it with wisdom. Build alliances with people and get them to trust you. Look back to Nigeria since 1960: most of those who became prime minister or head of state or president were hardly controversial. No president ever left office and Nigerians wished he stayed one day longer. Most of them either died there or left in disgrace or were forced out. We can count on our fingertips those who left on a clean slate. Why is this relevant? You have not even become president but you are courting needless controversies. Who'd trust you to manage that position?

Please stop fighting and be consistent in your views so that people can trust your leanings.

Mature response.


I like it when leaders don't engage one another even if the other one is being immature.


It save you from saying things you will regret.

Like the old ones says,

Don't make decision when happy
And
Don't say a word when angry or sad.
