El-rufai: Why I Wept At My Book Presentation by Supa6ix(m): 6:51am On Feb 09, 2013
On a day his friends, associates and loved
ones converged on the nation’s capital to
witness the public presentation of his
controversial and expository memoir, ‘The
Accidental Public Servant’, on Thursday
at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Center
Abuja, former FCT Minister, Nasir El-
Rufai betrayed his emotions and wept
openly.
El-Rufai, who often comes across as a
tough, courageous and firm figure, could
hardly hold back the tears that flowed
freely when he noticed the mammoth
crowed that thronged the venue of his
book presentation.
“I never thought I could be so honoured; I
am deeply touched and I do not really
know what to say and how to say it
given the calibre of persons and the large
number of people who have turned out
today to witness the presentation my
book,” the former minister said.
As he began to elaborate, tears flowed
down his cheeks and those close by helped
him with a handkerchief and he ended his
speech and was helped to his seat but not
before he apologised for weeping in
public, explaining that he wept because of
the encomiums showered on him.
“I was touched. The prayer by Pastor
Sarah Omaku was very kind to me. I have
never had any one speak about me in that
manner, I just couldn’t handle it I am
sorry if I disappointed you,” El-Rufai
explained.

Read the book please. You can't even write a sentence without an error. How can you ever write even a story book?

Is it tears we need now or pragmatism and sincerity?. El Rufai, your intention is still in doubt and you give me reasons to believe that this book was all about self gratification and exoneration while you paint others are the real evil.. Too bad, he has gone to the dogs.

Truth be told, El Rufai is one of the most qualified Nigerians alive who can effectively rule Nigeria.

He has to cry,because he knows that he is going to end up in jail for all his steps.
Re: El-rufai: Why I Wept At My Book Presentation by Nobody: 5:23pm On Feb 10, 2013
After so much hatred he poured out on the public domain, he never believed he will be so much relevant and welcomed among men. I am sure Hell_Rufai has more apologies to make and its best for our nationhood.

A gripping story of intrigues and machinations . Very readable inside story. A must-read for ambitious and even non ambitious Nigerians. I am only page 53 but I must finish the whole 600+ pages by the next weekend ! I bought the book yesterday.
