A former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Naja’atu Mohammed has referred to the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai as a ‘pathological liar.
This came as reaction to the claim of El-Rufai that some cabals in the presidential villa were working against the presidential ambition of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.
She revealed via a television interview that the governor of Kaduna state prostrated before the president because he wanted to be Governor of his state.
She called on members of the public to ignore the governor ahead of the forthcoming presidential election.
Mohammed said, “Let me talk about El-Rufai. Let us look at the beginning of El-Rufai. Still, before talking about the beginning of El-Rufai and how he came about where he is today, I want to please refer people to Obasanjo’s book ‘My Watch’ Volume 2, pages 110 and 112, in which he said. I quote, ‘my vivid recollection of El-Rufai is that he has a penchant for lying, unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty.’ he has little or no regard for integrity.
“That is how Obasanjo described El-Rufai in his book. Let me cite an example of these, who brought El-Rufai into the PDP? It was on Atiku’s recommendation that he was brought into the PDP. It was on Atiku’s recommendation when Obasanjo wanted to construct the original FCT plan.
“Obasanjo asked Atiku for advice and he recommended El-Rufai. In fact, by the time El-Rufai went to the Senate for clearance, the Senate refused to clear him.
“It took the intervention of this same Atiku for him to be cleared. But the first thing he did was betray Atiku, he started fighting him.
“El-Rufai is a pathological liar and he is so shameless. I don’t think it is right for Nigerians to continue to listen to people like him. Before 2015 he had said all such derogatory things about Muhammadu Buhari, but by 2015 when he wanted to be governor, he came and knelt before Buhari because he is nothing in Kaduna without Buhari. In fact, he is so unpopular. His popularity in Abuja was transferred to Kaduna because of the demolition”.
