'El-Rufai’s book is a collection of fiction' - Atiku Abubakar

Former FCT minister Mallam El-Rufai wrote a memoir titled The Accidental Public Servant which was unveiled in Abuja today, and in the book he criticized a few politicians...one of them former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar. In the book, El-Rufai described Atiku as a corrupt power hungry politician and alleged that he (El-Rufai) had almost resigned as the former Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) because of persistent pressure and interference by Atiku, who was then the Chairman of the National Council on Privatization

Atiku has reacted to the content of the book, calling it a collection of fiction and exaggeration.
It amazes me that El Rufai can pass off fiction for self-gratification at the expense of truth as a book. El-Rufai's attack on my person is to say the least not surprising considering that this is the same man who has notoriety for disparaging religions and their icons, including lately Jesus Christ.

If he could go to such irreverent extent to disparage religious icons, who is an ordinary mortal like me? It is my belief that any man that can cross the boundary of reason and decency deserves prayers rather than anger.”

I wish to state that the book is as a collection of fiction, half truths, exaggeration and reflection of selective memory.

  7. El Rufai is too cunning, arrogant and nonchalant for a leader abeg, now that he is out of government its now that he knows how the right thing should be done and is telling everyone that cares to know, even on twitter. Are we fools not to remember how he turned Abuja lands to his personal property? I call his case that of a pot calling the kettle black.

  11. If it really is a lie, sue him to court for defamation of character but we all know you can't... And he disparages religious icons? You can definitely aim better. Very weak cheap shot.

  14. Birds of a feather ... We're yet to see the end of mallam's superstory- Oh father, Oh daughter! Trust me, next time would be OBJ's turn. But trust that one to bring it on if he ever dares him.

  22. Elrufai is one of the biggest pretenders we have in politics. The midget is just as cunning and arrogant as anything. He is power sick and desperate for attention. Is not his fault tho, I blame GEJ's inefficiency and loophole in performance which has made Elrufai's baseless criticsm to look potent. He gave choice lands to his family members, girl friends and cronies as FCT minister and he is now talking about corruption. Who is he fooling? Atiku introduced Elrufai to OBJ and he was appointed into BPE, today Atiku is a piece of shit in his eyes. Yes, Atiku is a desperate politician but Elrufai must not feed us with lies so as to make his book a best seller. He has no moral right to even talk, he deserves back seat abeg. Only a fool takes Elrufai serious!

  23. Elrufai is trying too hard to remain relevant. Dude we see u for who you are, a rude,spiteful,cunning,religious fanatic,anti-progress son of d devil. Jus shut da fuck up man!

  26. Nigerian politcians can be very interesting.
    They really don't have permenant enemies but permenant interests.
    From IBB, Col. Anthony Nyiam and Great Ogboru hugging and shaking at Alex Akinyemi's book launch. The merger of a group of regional political parties into one.
    And this latest issue about Mallam Nasir El-Rufai's book's attack on Atiku, Who were suposed to be political bed fellows.
    Who say Nigerian politicians have regional, tribal or religious leanings, they are all join together by one permenant interest their 'belly'

  37. I think el rufai is right,I think he is tryin to get shit off his chest before "bisexual" kills him.Remember azazi.

  38. Personally, I would rather believe El Rufai cos even though he might have exaggerated things, its ABSOLUTELY TRUE that Atiku is a greedy, power hungry politician. I also think its childish of him to try and bring up the whole 'Jesus Christ' issue again; If what he said is really 'untrue' you just keep quiet and don't dignify the accusations with a response. Agbaya buruku!

  41. Lol! We all know the kind of leaders we have in this country,all the same. Notwithstanding we are not interested in all this political gimmicks and razmattaz permit me to use the word but personally I believe a book is a tool and an intellectual property not a revenge device,if both of you had issue then it should be btw both of u.don't mis-use the purpose of a book by even specifically stating his name.

  48. Call him mallam, or any title of your fancy, el rufai (el-ruffian) is a rogue: quote me. I shall reveal this small man the way he is- physically(very tiny, but a big thief) mentally, he has a retinue of idiots who serve his big ego. This big thief wants to be president of Nigeria, and he has paid editors from the punch in lagos to leadership in abuja to say destroy buhari's well earned image as one who has zero tolerance for roguery.he tried his best to hijack the merger move, but he was shoved aside by the gen, who suddenly woke up to realize that the big thief -el rufai since the ptf days actually wants to rubbish him.hence, the former bauchi state dep gov now heads the cpc merger committee...will keep you all posted, every second of the way !!!

  49. Atiku trying to divert the subject matter, what would have been ur point if the recent "religious. Icon disparge" didnt happen. Pls Atiku defend your self. btw Elrufai wasnt far from the truth are u not a corrupt power hungry politician as alleged. You all are even Elrufai himself. Abeg make una free us jare. Mama Darren

  50. Seriously dis El rufai think pple re daft,hes no longer in gov so he's so bitter,faced him once on Twitter, n he blocked me. This kind of person ever gets to d top, he would kill pple if they ever confront him with d truth,he just can't run from d truth. Him and Dino melaye can't fool us, pls he shld just park well, I wish pple will 've common sense to know their game.

  52. Cunning, lying bastards em both. No bother going @ Atiku, he's a notorious rogue. The Mallam however, intelligent hypocrite. I refuse to be fooled!

    ReplyDelete
  53. So Atiku can read??? I didn't know oo. Well Atiku, don't use the Jesus Christ Ish to cover the matter. We all know tha you are embarrasingly power hungry. That is why an old man like you could go as far as kneeling down to greet Obasanjo...and you are not even a yoruba man. I don't get it. You are corrupt and Power hungry. Everyone knows that.

    ReplyDelete
  54. El-ruffian is suffering from cognitive dissonance, that rogue converted the land in Abuja for himself and his wives.

    Atiku...a homosexual with a reprobate mind...
    Why are the atiku group jittery?
    Instead of the atiku group to even keep their mouths shut, they're busy spewing rubbish out of guilt. Who doesn't know that atiku is a morally bankrupt
    person who has sold his conscience to the devil?
    This is somebody who does not hesitate to sacrifice human beings for rituals to satisfy his greedy penchant to become president at all cost?
    Who doesn't know in the whole of adamawa that marabouts are the ones dictating to atiku and he receives instructions from them?!
    Who doesnt know that atiku has sodomised and spoilt the future of a lot of young men from ages 15 upwards in adamawa?

  55. Bros. nothing is fictional in 9ja! El. has bare something and a man of his nature can't just be wished away.

  56. @ Ladex,pls dont talk about repentance at all! Do Nigerian politicians know what the word repentance means? They are all bunch of pretenders. l'm sure Elrufai who is now claiming to be a saint now has something up his sleeves. Let's wait and see, only time can tell.

  61. El Rufai is bitter. I hope he is not broke. He is rude to his elders and can never be a good role model. He has ruined his image with various nonsensical comments. He is a Muslim and Northern bigot. He can never change.
