He is not yet matured. Rufai is still crawling politically Even at over 60 years old. He did not know how to fight politically He is easily bittered and offended Very very bittered human being. You can trust such person with power. He is only loyal to himself and his pocket. Mention one of his benefactor he as not abused From Atiku, To OBJ To Buhari |

Jokay07:Don't bring Wike close to El Rufai when it comes to performance pls, let's forget about the fact that El Rufai is tribalistic but performance wise he was very active both as Minister and Governor, Wike can't match him in that |

Prenonjebose:Is that how to steady the country despite the massive goodwill he enjoyed from all and sundry? Everyone wanted a fresh and new start for Nigeria; they wanted Nigeria to start achieving its potential after the long military era and the tragic events around June 12. Both inside and foreigners thought at last a new Nigeria was here. They readily forgave our debts and repatriated stolen loot. And all we got was what? A huge keg of gunpowder for the coming leaders to struggle with. A large percentage of uneducated young people which has led to the uncontrollable population explosion of poor and uneducated religious/tribal extremists we have today, sects who finally lost hope in Nigeria and sprang up from different sections of the country over the years, religious narratives ahead of merit in determining our leadership structure, a flawed constitution, flawed foundations in power/electricity generation/transmission/distribution, a skewed census that solved absolutely nothing, electoral do or die culture. Let me not even continue abeg, let's just let sleeping dogs lie. |

Baba werey! Omo ale number 1 in Yorubaland… Mr “One-Nigeria” Asinwin refuse to accept we are different peoples. He refuse to accept the civil war was a useless war. We could have simply taken back Niger delta and cut the biafrans loose. Baba werey! |

badoh:Absolutely spot on. Obasanjo settled for Yar Adua, who was even unknown to most of his fellow Governors at the time, because he was someone OBJ believed was weak, unambitious and controllable by proxy. Further proof is how OBJ single-handedly selected the 'sit down and know your level' GEJ as VP to Yar Adua because he believed Jonathan would not be an ambitious, troublesome and independent-minded VP to Yar Adua as Atiku was to him Meaning OBJ's cumulative Machiavellian plot was to have a weak President and unambitious VP, as leaders of Nigeria, he could continue to control and teleguide from his Ota Farm. Alas, things did not work out for OBJ, desperate for a third term, as planned. Yar Adua unravelled as his own man who could not invest in Obasanjo's lust to control everything and everyone always. The OBJ and Yar Adua saga , plus GEJ's divine ascension to power, simply shows that God, Karma, providence, or whatever higher power a man believes in, is greater than us all. |

MarkNsukkaBread:We all see where it has landed us. The same you would likely complain about the route Lagos took. Tinubu did not just choose someone he can control for his selfish reasons and it never backfired on him. Instead, he chose people who are smart, goal getters and stickers to the master plan for his state. There's something called patriotism. There's no Lagos governor today that is not well qualified to contest for presidency on merit. We cannot say the same for Yaradua or Mr Luck. |

anonimi:He was smart enough to see the future and the loss of GEJ. He also knew that Nigeria would have likely broken up as GEJ couldn't handle it. This is what he fought for with his life as a soldier when he was younger. |

Image123:El-Rufai is an ethnic bigot and is not more qualified than Yardua of GEJ to lead a multicultural country like Nigeria. When he was governor we were always hearing news about religious clashes in southern Kaduna which were largely caused by his inflammatory religious comments...since he left as governor of Kaduna state how many times have you heard news of such religious clashes in Kaduna state? It is no surprise that even Tinubu passed him up for appointment as a minister in his government because everyone knows that El-Rufai is a political liability! |

That is Baba OBJ for you. He has been a Pillar to NIGERIAN STATES and Masses, though he is Not an Angel. He see things Ahead- same way OBJ Saw That The Introduction Of Boko haram -By Northerners - when Mr Yesufu-and his gangs came through Borno State and Obasanjo destroyed their Leaders then - Most Of The Northerns were against him but he stood his ground! - where are the Emirs and Other Traditional Rulers-who were not saying anything then? Has Bokoham gone from the North Now- because many of them are being accommodated because they Speak Arabic but unknown, they are Nigerian Enemies that came Illegally through the Cameron,Chad,Mali,Niger,etc. Unfortunately,El-Rufai has not Mature Politically! Very Sad |

But El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu made you reject Peter Odili as your successor. Because according to them, Odili is Igbo. |

Tinubu knows he has a big problem with El Rufai going against him…El Rufai is a don in northern politics but all these young yoruba Tinubu laptop boys are naive and gullible |
