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. 1 Like |

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. |

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. |
