APC Crisis: Penchant For Lying; How Obasanjo Described El-rufai In His Book by onojaintegrity: 10:09am On Mar 11, 2022
Following Nasir El-rufai's media tour and backbite against fellow Governors in his bid to become Vice President come 2023, a lot of outrage has occurred and as well deepened the crisis of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress.

Since Nasir El-Rufai said he will contest for President if Buhari asks him to, here is what the public should learn more about this fellow. Below is an exact quote of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s assessment of Nasir El-Rufai from page 412-413 of his book, My Watch Volume 2:

“A leader must know the character and ability of his subordinates. Character wise, Nasir has not much going for him. But he is a talented young man who can always deliver under close supervision. So, when Osita Chidoka approached, among others, propping Nasir as my possible successor, believing that whoever I supported would make it, which was a false belief; I did not hesitate to point to Nasir’s naivety and immaturity, talk less of his inability to give honour to whom honour is due.

My vivid recollection of him is penchant for lying, for unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty for long. Two years after I had left office, Osita came to me to confirm how right I was on my assessment and judgement of Nasir. I knew what I could make him to achieve and he achieved it for my administration and for the country. I believe that he can still be used in public service but under guidance and sufficient oversight, making allowance for the psychology of “his petit size and his elephantine brain.” He was described as a malicious liar. He was more than that; he is a pathological purveyor of untruths and half-truths with little or no regard for integrity. In all of this, he unwittingly does more harm than good to himself”

“Nasir’s penchant for reputation savaging is almost pathological. Why does he do it? I recognised his weaknesses; the worst being his inability to be loyal to anybody or any issue consistently for long, but only to Nasir el-Rufai. He barefacedly lied which he did to me against his colleagues and so-called friends. I have heard of how he ruthlessly savaged the reputation of his uncle, a man who was like, in the African setting, his foster father. I shuddered when I heard the story of what he did to his half-brother in the Air Force who is senior to him in age.”

Who can know a man more than his boss of eight years?
