Brand News Day Nigeria reports that a Kaduna-based legal practitioner and former National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Barrister Mark Jacob, has said that former Kaduna state governor, Malami Nasir El-Rufai, should be ignored because he is only trying to gain the attention of Nigerians.
The Top Nigerian lawyer who spoke in an interview with DAILY POST on the recent arrest of the former Kaduna governor by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said, “El-Rufai wants to be heard, and the more attention you give to him, the more he enjoys it. He should be ignored and allowed to fight the battle with the APC he brought to power.”
Jacob added, “El-Rufai has boasted over and over in the past that they are the owners of the North, and that they are the owners of Nigeria. They are the movers and shakers of APC. When he was celebrating the Muslim/Muslim victory.
”He boasted that it was just a testing ground for the grand design they have for the country, so that after they have implemented the Muslim/Muslim issue in Kaduna and taken it to the national level, they will perpetuate their holding to power both in Kaduna and Nigeria.
“So whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. I see everything going on as the grand design of the APC. The whole thing happening is the law of Kama, and it will catch up with everybody.”
The former PDP Legal Adviser advised that when one is in power, one has to be careful, especially in a democratic process like Nigeria, where power is for a short period.
According to him, “The APC that El-Rufai, Bola Tinubu, Mohammad Buhari and others gave birth to is an evil contraction that means no good to anybody. That is all the more reason why Nigerians have been suffering since 2015. Everything this country laboured for has been destroyed. Both at the National and international level. Nigeria has missed it, and we have become a laughing stock, and nobody takes Nigeria seriously anywhere.
“We have no value, we are just a setup. The world looks at us and shakes its head because Nigeria was projected to provide leadership in Africa. Sadly, those in power do not seem to realise the position they have brought Nigeria into. They are not bothered about what happens in the country but are busy driving the most expensive cars and getting ready for the 2027 general elections.”
The Top Nigerian lawyer explained that the arrest of Nasir El-Rufai by the EFCC does not add anything or subtract anything from society, saying that the pains the citizens of Kaduna are passing through, where civil servants are not sure of their future, was enough reason to wave aside the controversy. He stressed that people are just living in fear over insecurity across the state.
According to him, “These are issues that should take the centre stage in the state, lamenting that the civil service has been destroyed by the APC, with jobs taken over by contractors. What is the hope of the common man? It should be the issue to be looked into with a view to putting things in place for the overall benefits of the people,” he opined.
