Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai, has responded to a sharp rebuke by Doyin Okupe, President Goodluck Jonathan’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs. In a recent statement, Mr. Okupe, who is a medical doctor, berated the former for constantly describing the Jonathan administration as a failure. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/el-rufai-okupe-governance-cannot-be-outsourced 5 Likes |

Mr red-eyed Rufai. Dr Doyin Okupe simply asked you what solutions you profer as a Nigerian with a stake in the country, instead of being a loudspeaker of bad news like a subversive. Sir, prove that you are more than simply a winshes hero. Prove that you are not a boko haram hurrah singer. That can't be too hard, can it? ![]() 17 Likes |

@Beaf...and why should the citizenry be the one solving the problem for the Government. what is the essence of having a Governement if they cant solve /profer solutions to problems threatening the lives of the people that elected them into power? Being a C-in-C gives such person the power to take decision that protects his people and not begging/intimating oppositions for advise or even pointing fingers at them...if you cant handle it, simply quit. 32 Likes |

You dont browbeat or intimidate your opponents into helping you solve problems. If you dont have the answer and you think your opponents have it, you reach out to them, not blackmailing them. And of course you dont assume a standoffish posture, blame your opponents for your inadequacies and expect them to assist you. This is the truth Team Jonathan must accept. Jonathan is the President; he either applies the full military option or the polical option. All Nigerians are saying is that the mindless killings and bombings must stop. It is his responsibility to see this happen, not IBB's, El Rufai's, Bakare's or Buhari's. Who does not believe that the opposition would want to see him fail? Mr. President do somthing! 17 Likes |

Your argument is that of an enemy of Nigeria. The fact there there is a President does not stop each of us being patriotic. Even worse, it is not an excuse for subversives, desperados and lovers of the status quo like El Rufai to shout gleeful alleluya's each time a boko haram bomb takes another innocent life. If anyone wants to be an observer in our own country, then they might as well apply for a Chadian or Sudanese passport. 4 Likes |

El-Rufai, a patriot? ![]() ” The statement added: “If the Jonathan administration wants El-Rufai to provide them a manual on governing Nigeria, they should do so nicely without violating his civil rights, harassing him incessantly or suggesting that the man wants to run for an office now being desecrated by an occupant who blames everyone but himself for his zero performance.” The type of manual he gave to his ex-boss Obj abi? ![]() ![]() |
Re: El-rufai Replies Doyin Okupe by dedeike: 10:27pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
Criticism is cheap especially when the critic is clueless. Doyin's admonition is crystal clear. If you feel that government is not doing anything, you adduce reasons why and proffrer alternative solutions. That way people will take you more serious. That is the foundation upon which credible opposition is built. You can't just call your self an opposition leader and you repeat the same pedestrian lines that an arm chair critic in a local bar will do. El Rufai should tell us how better he could tackle the Boko haram challenge. He should be able to say GEJ was wrong in appointing the NSA OR the CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF or the new IG of Police. El Rufai should be able to tell us that, if we had the misfortune of having him as our president in these trying times, he would have sacked all the policemen and recruit new ones so that Boko Haram will stop. El Rufai should tell us whether he will mount roadblocks on every street in Nigeria so as to prevent suicide bombers from killing themselves and other Nigerians on the process. EL Rufai should come out and tell us that he wouldn't have charged Senator Ali Nfume to court or he will just shoot him directly. El Rufai should tell us whether the setting up of JTF is wrong or not. El Rufai should tell us that he will not be resident in Aso rock while the people are dying hence he will relocate to the streets of Maidugri and govern Nigeria from there. El rufai should tell us that he will send drones to destroy the people of Maidugri because Boko Haram is in their midst. Arm chair criticism never brings power. It may be popular in the interim but it has a way of leaving the person hollow at the long run. 28 Likes |

Government is a collective responsibility and it is vested on all citizenry to play a role in ensuring good leadership... In a nutshell, elrufai is part of government, even as an opposition leader and a former federal cabinet minister, should profer a solution if he has a strategy or information on how to tackle some of the challenges facing our nationhood instead of endless rantings like a stray dog. It only goes to show how immature a politician he is |

Boko haram is a political tool to the likes of El Rufai and that is why they behave as if they are not from the region being affected by it. Just a couple of days ago, the Arewa spokesman, Antony Sani asked GEJ to make a public announcement that he wouldn't contest the 2015 elections in order for peace to come to Nigeria. Incredible! ![]() Quite clearly, El Rufai is of the same mentality, otherwise he would have responded positively to Dr Okupe's suggestion, afterall it isn't Dr Okupe's kinsmen who are directly affected. Indeed, it is quite strange for Southerners and foreigners to care more about the boko haram scourge than some of the shameless core-Northern elite like El Rufai do. 12 Likes |

At least for once i can agree with the submission of Beaf kudos to your Doctors who are ensuring that you take your drugs at the appropriate time.

Megabyts: When a govt cant solve the problems of the governed the honourable thing is for gej and his crew to resign.No government in the world resigns because of terrorism. Last month we saw Isreali tourists killed by a suicide bomber in Europe, no body called for the resignation of the Bulgarian president. Till tomorrow, suicide bombings occur in parts of Isreali territory despite their sophistication in intelligence. No body called for resignation of Isreali prime minister. When US was attacked from outside, not this our home grown terrorism, the whole America stood behind Bush. Both democrats and republicans alike. No body called for Bush's resignation. It took America almost a decade to track the perpetrator Osama. Even in Kenya, recently suicide bombings have been going off in parts of Kenya. No body has called for the resignation of the president. All over the world, terrorism is considered a global threat which must be confronted by all and not playing politics with it. If it were genocide or internal rebellion which the govt can't contend with, the international community will be calling for GEJ's resignation. But have you ever wondered why no other country or UN or international community has not condemned GEJ talkless of asking him to resign? It's food for thought 6 Likes |

El-rufai is jst a yellow snake in dark skin. If his assistants can put up such wonderful response to Okupe, i believe they can produce better ones telling Boko Haram dat dia actions aint doin nobody any good, and dat way we may really know who's for wat. But his negatively skewed mind wil never go there. Oga rufai, pls grow up, cos its obvious dat u havnt still gotten used to being out of power. Nothing lasts for ever. Did u honorably quit or resign wen u were selectlively destroying peoples houses in Abuja, and evn went to d extent of alloting houses to ur friends and friends of friends? No, u didnt! If u cant wait to be shamed in 2015 elections, go get ur bloody soldier brothers to do it d hard way, cos its obvious dat ur Boko Brothers dont seem to be achieving anything in dat regard. Mr Rufai, u know what u remind me of? .......... A kid whose ice-cream melted away and he goes around wit lit candle trying had to melt evry kids'. If u wanna shoot ur trap, hit Boko haram pls. Gej is the wrong target. 3 Likes |

Imagine a man from a certain village. Imagine the women and daughters from his village being ra'ped by armed robbers who are also from his village. No, picture that man jumping in glee each time there is a violation. Now draw your conclusions about the man who rather than profer solutions to the violation of the women in his village, screams "keep away from 2015 or no peace!" ...In the meantime, yet more daughters and women are ra'ped by armed robbers who are from his village. That man is El Rufai, he is IBB, Ciroma, kaita and the other core-Northern elite vultures that see the innocent blood of even women and kids as tools to coerce positions in the 2015 elections. Core-Northerners have suffered enough under these beasts. 2 Likes |

Re: El-rufai Replies Doyin Okupe by Elueme: 10:49pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
From the statement ,it is obvious that el Rufai is having a laugh at the precarious security situation in the north even when the trend is culminating in wanton destruction of the lives and property of the people he( elrufai) claims to love and care about more than the sitting govt... In the face of grave danger and national challenge true patriots stand up in defense of their coutry's interest first before partisanship,. This was Okupe's position and he was very right until elrufai punctures this position and proves otherwise, he remains guilty of finding a cheap popularity in nigeria's misery http://saharareporters.com/news-page/el-rufai-okupe-governance-cannot-be-outsourced[/quote] |
