Recent Christian opprobrium against erstwhile Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai for his verbal attack on President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor continued on Thursday with another response from CAN saying El-Rifai is set for another journey to exile.
According to TEKAN, the umbrella body for of CAN’s 13 church groups in the North, the former minister should not be taken serious, as he is a negative influence on the newly registered All Progressives Congress (APC).
“We will not gratify his passion, but we warn him to watch out or else his return to exile where he rightly belongs might just be sooner than he can imagine. It is in fact regrettable that a party like APC, which claims to be a credible platform, parades the likes of El-Rufai, a returning vagabond who went on self-exile to run away from the hands of the law during the days of Yar’adua,” National President of TEKAN, Dr. Samuel Emmanuel Nanle wrote in a statement.
“We, as a fellowship of 13 denominations cutting across the whole Northern Nigeria, know that El-rufai is a political pay flute and would want to advise him to address his moral bankruptcy before dropping names of revered person of the CAN president into public discourse, which he generates to get attention.
“The the CAN president, we are sure, knows this very well to have ignored El-rufai who we know would want Christian groups and individuals to soil the name of the Sultan so he can have a field day thinking he has created a media war.”
According to Nanle, the likes of El-Rufai thrive by drawing attention to himself when he is quickly being forgotten and such his remark at best should fall flat and remain only news to the ears of those who are new to his antics of seeking to put behind the tale of his disservice to our country.
“To call the president of CAN a political propagandist at a time that the same president just secured the mandate of the church in Nigeria to lead it for the second three-year term is indeed laughable and draws attention to the fact that he has taken leave of his senses and a patient for psychoanalysis.
“We beg to ask what pedestal of credibility the likes of El-Rufai, a man who allocated lands in the choicest spots of Abuja to his infant kids while demolishing houses of legitimate allotters, will have to stand on to criticise the CAN President.
“As interim Deputy National Secretary of the APC, we would ask the APC to address the credibility deficit he brings to the party early enough if the party is to be taken, just like when this insane canary was singing all hail Obasanjo and Atiku. Now he is singing all hail Buhari, the very person he said he is not fit to govern a local government.
“He will no doubt sing and crucify the APC when the chips are down, the place therefore for the likes of El-Rufai, is a psychiatric ward where multiple personality disorder can periodically be reviewed and addressed. Most certainly public space is not a place for this ranting dog who has been tested and failed.”
