After assessing the activities of Mallam el-Rufai as FCT Minister we conclude that, he is not a fit and proper person to hold public office in a democratic set up.

Former Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has been declared unfit to hold public office. He is also to forfeit a house he allegedly allocated to himself during the sale of Federal Government houses in Abuja.
In an interim report, the Senate Joint Committees on FCT and Housing which probed the FCT Administration(FCTA) between 1999 and 2007, said “el-Rufai is not a fit and proper person to hold office in a democratic setting.”

The committee’s chairman, Senator Abubakar Sodangi, submitted the report on tuesday.

The report upbraided el-Rufai over the sale of Federal Government houses in FCT, and recommended that his administration should account for N32billion balance of the proceeds.

Besides, el-Rufai is to account for funds collected by the Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS), Satellite Town Development Agency and Abuja Investments and Property Development Company Limited.

The panel also recommended that all those who disobeyed court orders then should be prosecuted by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).

A copy of the recommendations obtained by The Nation reads: “All officers who disobeyed or ordered the disobedience of court orders should be prosecuted by the Attorney-General of the Federation;”

“Also on the sale of Federal Government houses, the total receipt is N96.7 billion and deductions were N34.2 billion and the balance was given as N62.19 billion. The bank statements showed only N29 billion, leaving a balance of only N32 billion unaccounted for despite all demands from him and his officers.”

“After assessing the activities of Mallam el-Rufai in his duties as FCT Minister we came to the inevitable conclusion that:

•he should account for all funds collected by the ad-hoc bodies he raised during his tenure, namely AGIS, Ad hoc Committee on sale of government houses in FCT, the Satellite Town Development Agency, and Abuja Investments and Property Development Company Limited, among others;

•that the house he obtained for himself where he signed as lessor and lessee be revoked as a person cannot sell an item to himself; and

•that Mallam el-Rufai is not a fit and proper person to hold public office in a democratic set up.

Folks like you are the ones who claim GEJ is not fighting corruption,and when he does you call it a witch-hunt.
El rufai has never been a saint. A lot of these politicians are against this administration because they have no access to the national cake;give them the chance and they'll begin to sing a new song.

It is you that should go and formatt your brain!!!

Where and when did the senate become the law court to bar people from holding public office?

More so,the so-called Nasir El-Rufai who is supposedly barred from holding public office is contesting for the Governorship of Kaduna

Just imagine a PDP committee set up to probe an APC member,..Another PDP strategy aimed at capturing Kaduna state.But what they fail to realise was that El rufai had already capture the minds of the people of KD, so this allegation is Dead On Arrival.

See the same el-rufai that has become a social crusader.
Progressives indeed.


A wise Nairalander once said:

If any man be in APC he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are becomed new.

But isn't it really a witch hunt? What happened to Alison Madueke, the petroleum minister that was indicted of mismanaging public funds. She refused to appear before the senate despite being aware of the senate summon. Did Jonathan not tacitly support her despite the Senate's public outcry? Remember how long he took before reluctantly showing the former aviation minister, Stella oduah the way out and even till now she has not been prosecuted neither has she given account of how she spent a whooping 255 million naira on bullet proof cars. Those behind the missing 20billion or 10 billion naira have been shown till now.
With all the above, if Jonathan decides to prosecute El-rufai based on d senate report, it is nothing other than a political witch hunt. He cannot choose some senate reports to act on and reject others and still expect to be seen as fair.

Are you comparing 32 billion Naira, Hell Rufai cornered for himself to 255million used in buying bullet proof cars?

Are you sure you know the difference between billions and millions?

I dont mean any offence but why are you typing like a semi-literate person The issue is whether or not prosecuting el-rufai will amount to a witch hunt and you have not addressed that at all. If someone steals 300 million and another steals 20 billion, in the eyes of the law they are both thieves. If you decline to prosecute one person, then you should also not prosecute the other one.
Besides, why did you ignore the 20 billion ''DOLLARS'' missing NNPC money. isnt that one too in billions? Convert 20 billion dollars into Naira and see the trillions it amounts to. If GEJ is unconcerned about a whole 20billion dollars, then he shouldn't cry foul over a 'mere' 32billion naira.

And he's busy shouting for change calling themselves progressive...smh

What can I say about an "accidental public" servant who found himself in the corridor of power only to loot
