Elrufai's arrest is becoming a joke if you paid attention closely.

The opposition are currently in disarray as that's the aim

Just like Plateau, Kaduna was a very volatile state prior to Elrufai. Religious crisis have been known to spring up from wrong tweets, false rumours on social media and malicious lies. Elrufai clamped down heavily on false news peddlers to tame the tide. It's on record that there was no sectarian crisis all through his 8 years as governor. It was because he ruled with an iron fist within the law and arraigned culprits in court. He took no prisoners but he's hated for it and he has always maintained that he doesn't care. The people of FCT know this about Elrufai.

Audu Maikori is now a member of the APC, by the way.

I don't like Tinubu but am enjoying every bit of hell El rufai's downfall. Imagine this bigot saying on live National TV that he supported tinubu because he is a southern Muslim.

Power is transient. Most people tend to forget that. Play your part for humanity's sake and leave the stage. It is not an opportunity for abuse or let the world know that you have arrived. One day you will hand it over to someone else, no matter how long you hold on to it.
Re: El-rufai Persecuted Me For Wrong Tweet, Organised My Abduction - Audu Maikori by naptu2(op): 10:22am On Feb 19
Audu Maikori is the founder of Chocolate City Records. The record company has had famous Nigerian artistes like M.I. Abaga, Ice Prince Zamani, Jesse Jagz, Ckay, Nosa and the Kenyan Victoria Kimani on its roster.

He is a lawyer and he is from Southern Kaduna.

Audu Maikori was a supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP and he had many clashes with the El-Rufai administration in Kaduna over the violence in Southern Kaduna.

He tweeted that his driver's younger brother and several other students of a college of education in Kaduna had been killed by herders. The Kaduna State Government and the college refuted the allegation.

Audu Maikori then investigated his driver who told him the story. The driver insisted that the story was true. However, after being threatened with arrest at the police station, the driver admitted that the story was not true. He said that he knew that Audu Maikori was an advocate for the people of Southern Kaduna and he thought that he could get money from him for his brother's funeral. He assumed that Audu Maikori would not investigate the story.

Audu Maikori deleted the tweet and posted an apology to the school and the people of Kaduna.

However, the Kaduna State Government petitioned the police to arrest Audu Maikori. He was in Lagos, but he was arrested by policemen from Kaduna.

That is commendable of Elrufai for clapping down on fake news peddlers when he was a governor.What should Tinubu now as president do to someone who confess on live tv to bugging the phone of NSA.

Until Ribadu confirms and proves that his phone has been bugged, we can't say for sure. Has he?

I told you many times on this forum that you can continue basking in the euphoria of your own deception. One doesn't need to tell Nigerians what really happened to the Christians and opposition groups in southern kaduna during El-rufai administration.
Re: El-rufai Persecuted Me For Wrong Tweet, Organised My Abduction - Audu Maikori by Obiedun(m): 10:39am On Feb 19
You too made mistake but the beauty of it is that you removed it. Many lives , homes and businesses have been destroyed as a result of putting wrong information on the internet. Ho and sin no more. I cannot really blame El Rufai much on this.

Do you know you're very easy to work out? Even before anyone reads your contribution on a thread they know what you will say and who you will attempt to attack/blame and/or automatically exonerate of wrongdoing.

Your whole essence boils down to the saying "an enemy of my enemy is my friend".

That concept typifies your character online and I am sure offline too. Essentially making you a person of questionable judgement and principles.

Your contribution here revolves around blind defence of characters, no matter how dangerous and evil, you perceive as enemies of PBAT and "Yoruba Presidency".

Malami, Atiku, Tambuwal, Bala Mohammed, El Rufai hegemonists and supremacist Arewa groups etc, etc.

Really sad. Not a good look bro because it makes you appear highly aberrant.

PS, I,ve just done an OBJ on you since you love quoting OBJ's observation of the character of others in his book.

Really so somebody paid you to say what you are saying on NL ba?

Anytime we are trying to repay these evil people who think they are untouchable back in their coins and stop them in continuation to wreking havocs its people like you that always stalled it then come back to blame the president.

Obj tried to do this people like you called it political.

Gej tried all his best to take these evil men off our street people like you called it political

Buhari came he never even tried it at all rather he was fine with them you refused to called it political

And Now Tinubu want to do what Obj and Gej were not allowed to do same you and some cursed people still called it political then why crying insecurity? Enjoy it then if no one can touch terrorost and jihaddist and their sponsors then enjoys it. FACT!!!

I'd have to give it to you. You try in twisting logic on it head and try to twist situations to suit your masters. You could really be a good press secretary to a politician, as this kind of skill is only useful to politicians and not in cooperate society.

See how you are desperately trying to turn a bad situation into a rotten one.

Indeed. What is sure is that this should mark the end of El Rufai service in public office.

He has gone too far. No other, not Atiku or Obi etal, are going as far as El Rufai is doing in the name of opposition politics.

He has crossed all boundaries of decency and duty of care to his nation with the unacceptable methods he chose to fight a democratically elected Sitting government.

He started by calling the Tinubu government an "evil" he must help destroy after helping to create it. That insanity, not even opposition politicking can excuse, went unpunished and he was emboldened to then begin a personalised campaign of ludicrous and unproven claims against the Government.

He has gone too far taunting our NSA with claims he obtained audio recording of his conversation from hackers who have committed acts of treasonable felony meaning El Rufai is guilty of conspiring with them.

He then cheekily wrote our NSA demanding explanation over alleged shipment of dangerous chemicals into Nigeria as if this whole opposition thing is a game with no boundaries at all.All this is a big disgrace to Nigeria.

Any technocratic efficiency he offers is ruined by his huge megalomania and sociopathic narcissism. I personally do not think any Government should engage El Rufai as a public servant again after his open confession to abetting an act of treason against Nigeria via claims he benefited from illegal phone tapping against our national security advisor.

He has gone too far and only those who believe Nigeria is a lawless jungle where anything goes, and should be run as such , would not understand the unacceptable level El Rufai has gone to fighting others as if opposition politics should ever, for any reason at all, be prosecuted in this "fight to the death" manner.
