Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has described former Minister
of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, as a
political liability to General Muhammadu Buhari.
CAN, while reacting to comments made by El-Rufai against Jesus Christ
and its President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, in a weekend publication,
said the former FCT minister must be broke and looking for survival.
CAN, in a statement jointly released, yesterday, in Abuja, by its
Head of TEKAN/ECWA Block and National Director, Research, Planning &
Strategy, Rev. (Dr.) Emmanuel Dziggau and Elder Sunday Oibe,
respectively, also advised General Buhari to be careful of the person of
the former minister.
“We want to let General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) know that his problem
with the country is El-Rufai. It was this same El-Rufai that was
abusing Buhari when he was in the cabinet of ex-President Olusegun
Obasanjo that is now fighting ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Obasanjo
and all the fingers that fed him just because he has lost out of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), hoping that when Buhari becomes
President in 2015, he would be given a job.
“Buhari should know that El-Rufai is a political liability who is
looking for survival. Any politician who allows El-Rufai around him will
always fail election, even before campaigns. Nobody will like to be
associated with a political liability,” CAN warned Buhari.
It, however, threatened to open up on him, if the former minister,
within seven days, failed to reveal the person he claimed gave
Oritsejafor the private jet.
“We are giving El-Rufai seven days ultimatum to inform Nigerians and
the world the person he claims to know that gave Pastor Oritsejafor his
private jet. If he fails to do that, we will open up on him and his
life,” it said.
It said the fact that “Christians are not violent doesn’t mean he
should go far with his utterances. He is not in a position to tell us
who should be the leader of Christians in Nigeria.”
