Asari-Dokubo has taken a swipe on the former minister for Federal Capital Territory on his recent criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration while stating that the ex-minister is annoyed by the disappointment he got from President.
According to the former militant boss, Mallam El-Rufia’s attack on the president was because of failed ministerial appointment which the president refused to offer El-Rufia.
‘He wanted appointment in Goodluck’s government and when Goodluck didn’t give him appointment, he suddenly turned a Northern crusader”, Dokubo revealed.
… “When Odi and Odioma in Bayelsa State were destroyed by soldiers, where was the Nasir el-Rufai that is now running his mouth?
A jobless person like el-Rufai contributes nothing to keep Nigeria. They can only survive with government. El-Rufai ran away from Nigeria under his brother Yar’Adua. When his brother died, he came back. He wanted appointment in Goodluck’s government and when Goodluck Jonathan didn’t give him appointment, he suddenly turned a Northern crusader” He continued. “The same el-Rufai said that Buhari is perpetually un-electable because of his record as military head of state. The same el-Rufai said that Buhari’s insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known. The same el-Rufai repeated a known fact that in 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his ADC’s father to enter Nigeria unchecked at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new”.
According to Dokubo, el-Rufai told Nigerians that against all canons of legal decency, that Buhari used retroactive laws to execute three young men for drug-peddling after they were convicted by a military tribunal and not regular courts of law.
“The same el-Rufai said that Buhari was so high-handed that he gave himself and his officials’ immunity even from truthful reporting, when Buhari used the obnoxious Decree 4, against which truth was no defence, to jail journalists and attempt to cow the media as a whole. This same el-Rufai, a habitual betrayal, that is now running his mouth, said all these about Buhari when he was FCT Minister under Obasanjo.
Why would anybody take him serious”?
