Sometimes I struggle to analyse reasons why I should completely hate the Man call Mallam Nasiru Elrufai, the more I silently put up reasons side by side, the more I realised the necessity of having a leader with many of his positive personality traits. As much as I respect divergent sentiments against him, I make bold to say that, many are being led by emotions and exaggerations.
The most unfortunate approach by many who are celebrating the elitis clash between the federal government and Elrufai are only celebrating the inexistence of their thoughts. This fight isn't about you and I or how Kaduna state was governed, who and how people were arrested and detained nor how many houses were demolished.
The tragedy is fiercely about elites and power interest, before I proceed, how often did you realised his rare confidence and boldness which is exactly what you and I needs to have put Nigeria on it's lane of progression and citizens base governance.
Nasiru Elrufai like him or hate him has been a leader who's ideology culminated from mentoring young people in the affairs of governance and has remained consistent in dragging thoughts and ideology of young people to see government as a collective responsibility regardless of age and experience.
Nasiru Elrufai has consistently reminded Nigerian youths that the office of citizenship is the highest office in the land. Finally, your opinion and my opinion does not matter in what ever negotiation happening behind the curtain regarding his detention and interrogation.
Sadly Elrufai is being detained by a compromised government agencies operating as watchdogs of every rulling party in government, however we are witnesses to the flamboyant lifestyles of the least staff from all the anti graft agencies. Besides who ever is fueling it is guilty as charged.
If the DSS. ICPC. EFCC. DFI . are not able to intercept conversation of terrorist sponsors and their transactions, nor intercept and traced locations of phone calls where ransoms are taken to, then why should I celebrate the detention of one Man in their custody. Unless that is done in the interest of Nigeria, until then I have no reasons to hype the activities of the aforementioned agencies.
The killings are increasingly becoming uncontrollable lately especially within the Middlebelt. I suggest we should channel our energy in holding government accountable towards insecurity, poverty, transparent election and citizen oriented governance than allowing the current distraction which would be settled at our own perils in the end.
Despite his lapses and imperfections, Mallam Nasiru Elrufai remain heroic depending on the angle everyone analizes about his personality.
