An Abuja High court has freed former minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir El-Rufai, of charges of abuse of power.
The court gave its discharge verdict today, exonerating Mr. El-rufai of criminal charges.
The former FCT minister, now a leading member of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, was charged under the Corrupt and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 for using his position to corruptly revoke a plot of land from its previous owners – Power Holding Company of Nigeria Plc – and re-award same to his wife, Hadiza Ahmed El-Rufai.
Speaking on the outcome of the case, the former minister said he holds no grudges against his adversaries’.
“It is a vindication he never doubted will come, confident in his innocence and the integrity with which he served this country,” Muyiwa Adekeye, his spokesperson said.
“Despite the magnitude of the pains he has endured, El Rufai has decided to put all this in the past. He intends to move on, stepping confidently into the future with forgiveness and goodwill, devoid of the cobwebs of grudge.”
The former minister, El-Rufai has been on trial since 2008.

dridowu: how is it misplaced priority ? It is a welcome development as far as if the government is ready to spend judiciously. Moreover this will create both direct and indirect jobs to people of Delta State and Nigerians at large but my challenges with all this project is how soon will the project be completed ?

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]Though this is a another welcome development, it isn't far from the fact that it is another Asaba/Warri rivalry. But above that, this is a very welcome development. All cities in Nigeria should have an airport.
States like Anambra with no airport should be owning three airports.
Rivers state that is the Treasure Base of the Nation should have like four airports.[/color]

donphilopus: Who's this OP??

1MCN: 50Billion Dollars translates into about 8Trillion Naira. This is about Nigeria's budget for two whole years. In your very clear senses, do you think Jonathan, Dieziani, Okonjo-Iweala could have possibly embezzled such an amount of cash between January 2012 and July 2013 and the yet the budget and the economy is still walking on its foot? You think Public Sector Accounting is like is like Pythagora's theorem? Well, anything to make the demon out of our enemy is right.
For your info, the CBN gov had asked for detailed and comprehensive clarification and documentation of the movements of the cash and never alleged that someone has misappropriated the fund. Why can't we allow those concerned to come up with their own side of the transaction? After all the both the CBN gov and the Fin min are members of the NEMT.

akposking: Maybe i was a bit too critical with my analysis just to make my point but whatever is your thought am not what you are thinking, that if you take the negative part of it. Remain bless, Thank you.

berem: That man should be given award for the oldest,passive and senseless governor. What a joke by him for ASUU to be scrapped. Is that his best shot? Let him try harder.

ilugunboy: Can you please shut up already and stop jumping from one thread to the other thread in the community bellowing inanities all over the place.

ilugunboy: You can pass your points across without referring to people as animals in such derogatory manner.

ilugunboy: Everywhere you turn stinks of corruption in GEJ Presidency....

By the time this is over...the Ibos would realized that GEJ has only deepened the pecuniary interest of some individual Ibos and not their collective interest as a tribe.
