Let us look at the beginning of El-Rufai. Still, before talking about the beginning of El-Rufai and how he came about where he is today, I want to please refer people to Obasanjo\u2019s book \u2018My Watch\u2019 Volume 2, pages 110 and 112, in which he said. I quote, \u2018my vivid recollection of El-Rufai is that he has a penchant for lying, unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty.\u2019 he has little or no regard for integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is how Obasanjo described El-Rufai in his book. Let me cite an example of these, who brought El-Rufai into the PDP? It was on Atiku\u2019s recommendation that he was brought into the PDP. It was on Atiku\u2019s recommendation when Obasanjo wanted to construct the original FCT plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObasanjo asked Atiku for advice and he recommended El-Rufai. In fact, by the time El-Rufai went to the Senate for clearance, the Senate refused to clear him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took the intervention of this same Atiku for him to be cleared. But the first thing he did was betray Atiku, he started fighting him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl-Rufai is a pathological liar and he is so shameless. I don\u2019t think it is right for Nigerians to continue to listen to people like him. Before 2015 he had said all such derogatory things about Muhammadu Buhari, but by 2015 when he wanted to be governor, he came and knelt down before Buhari because he is nothing in Kaduna without Buhari. In fact, he is so unpopular. His popularity in Abuja was transferred to Kaduna because of the demolition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The backlash and allegations are coming after El-Rufai a few days ago described Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), as a Nollywood actor.<\/p>\n<p>El-Rufai also dismissed Obi\u2019s popularity, saying the former Anambra State Governor would only get votes in the South-East and some parts of South-South.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
