    quite an insightful piece, but deep down this discussion you refered to the late president Yaradua as “an uncommitted outsider who took over from you guys” i became confuse the more, knowing you to be a core member of the Obj team and will all know the succession model of Obj concerning Yaradua, was there a disconnect or point of dis agreement between your team and obj on the ideal person to take over?

    I don’t think you mean well for Nigeria. If you have a plan to become a Nigerian president, you are only and simply wasting your time. Your time at BPE and FCT is questionable now. And more, before you forget, you will soon be arraigned in court for your ‘institutional mistakes’ at BPE. When I came to your office then when you were FCT Minister, your protocol officers denied me entry to your office . When I asked why? The answer was simple: the FCT Minister[ Nasir el-Rufai] doesn’t not meet with students. It is a shame that all of you leaders come to Dubai,and yet, you couldn’t do anything to seriously ‘build’ your country Nigeria. Sheep in wolf clothing!

    All this propaganda a facade becoming 9ja president will fail because nemesis is waiting to catch up with you. What most people didn’t know was that you signed the document the Head of service had tactical evaded in 2004 as it will send many young civil servant premature retirement. I don’t have problem with reform, you did no thorough job, USED by Obj, left behind all female technical staffs in F.M.Works when many qualified men like us with even Degree was given the paper. Too bad. I hope u didn’t feel bad for FCT papers too.

    Propaganda! he’s trying to launder an already battered image. El-rufai, being a religious fanatic, cannot lead a secular nation. Though from the same state with me; unfortunately, but I will rather have a clueless GEJ rule than have this he-goat at the helms of affairs @Ahmed puting Fashola with the likes of El-Rufai is no doubt puting the cart b4 the horse-He is a misfit and undeserving of any position of responsibility in this fractured country
