A loyalist of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Comrade Timi Frank, has upbraided Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State for suggesting that his boss is corrupt.
Frank, who sued the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday for allegedly trying to expel him from the party after contesting the decision of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee (NWC) not to recognise his publicist position, described El-Rufai as “an ingrate and a perpetual betrayer”.
He said the same Atiku, who propelled El-Rufai into limelight through an appointment in the Bureau for Public Enterprise (BPE), was being attacked by a personality with records of betrayal against his benefactors.
Frank, in a statement Wednesday in Abuja, said Atiku remained the most investigated politician in the history of Nigeria’s politics despite not being found wanting in any of the allegations levelled against him.
Frank said, “El-rufai’s latest outburst is not surprising because of his antecedent of betraying all his known benefactors both in politics and in private life.
“It is on record that the likes of former President Olusegun Obasanjo will not be surprised because he has once betrayed Baba. Former President Goodluck Jonathan, who brought out El-rufai from exil can’t forget in a hurry how this same man betrayed him. It is a matter of time el-rufai will also betray President Buhari once the president no longer in power.”
He added, “the huge task of governance which el-rufai has practically failed woefully in Kaduna supposed to be paramount to him instead of deploying his strongest power against Turaki Adamawa, who is far above the governor in all levels.
“Just two days ago, more than 45 innocent citizens of Kaduna lost their lives immediately el-rufai launched a bill board in Southern Kaduna apologising for his maladministration.”
He advised President Muhammadu Buhari to be wary of El-Rufai and called on his fellow governors and the APC leadership of APC to call him to order.
He advised the govetnor of Kaduna State to respect the institution and the position the former Vice President held in this country and urged him to apologise to Turaki Adamawa.
