Former Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT), Malam Nasir El-Rufai said
General Muhammadu Buhari is his
preferred candidate for the 2015
presidential polls.
El-Rufai who spoke to Radio France
International Hausa Service denied
eyeing the presidency saying it was just
a propaganda by the Peoples Democratic
Party.
“Those who are saying Buhari should
step aside for me are not members of
our party. May be they are PDP members
who are afraid of General Buhari. This is
because the way they fear Buhari – I
swear they do not fear God the
almighty,” he said.
Reacting to comments credited to Nuhu
Ribadu about his book - The Accidental
Public Servant - he said “it is not possible
for me to write a book and everybody
becomes convinced about what I wrote.
But nobody came out to say Nasiru has
lied in the book. The only thing they say
is that they are not happy – like Nuhu
Ribadu, he has said he never read the
book, so if you didn’t read the book why
talk?
“The way I look at it, even Atiku
Abukabar’s people who wrote
rejoinders have not read the book. I
hope that by now they have read it, and
may be that is why they kept quite.
There is no way everybody will agree
with the book and there is no way one
would say he never committed any
mistake,” he said.
El-Rufai also challenged his critics to
write their own books for “Nigerians to
choose which one they will read”
because as far as he is concerned, he
wrote the truthPDP as he knew it.
