I stay in Wuse II, in a block of flats bordered on one end by a green area, and I only have to breathe in the fresh air coming from that direction every morning to remind me that he <B>saved</B> Abuja.<BR/><BR/>Granted, not everything he did was clean and above board, such as the last-minute allocations of land to <I>Baba</I>, but which of the jackals on this Senate Panel could have done a better job? Do they have the balls to recommend that the "questionable" allocations be revoked? If anything it'll probably end up like the PDP investigation into Orji Kalu's allegation that Anenih had threatened to "do him like Bola Ige." That "panel" found that yes, Anenih had indeed passed a message to Orji Kalu, and yes, the message was of such a nature that Orji Kalu had every reason to be alarmed by it, but that Orji Kalu should apologise to the party for causing it embarrasment by revealing the message, and that for Anenih they were advising (and only advising, they were quick to point out in cowering, sniveling cowardice) that such messages should be person-to-person in future to avoid any third-party corroboration!<BR/><BR/>They are a bunch of clowns and jokers, and Sodangi was stunned into spluttering silence when the computerised records of AGIS revealed that himself and his family members had several plots of land in Abuja and not the 3 he has been claiming.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, when one witness came to testify that Atiku had his house demolished, The Giant responded that he reviewed the case, and even if the interim FCDA boss hadn't demolished the house, <I>he</I> would have!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for him to testify before the committee. It's likely his testimony will expose them for the charlatans they are, and end this 3-Ring Circus once and for all.The Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729803653056516796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551262644538051668.post-29547117731787447382008-04-28T17:45:00.000-07:002008-04-28T17:45:00.000-07:00Wow, thanks for shining the spotlight on this.

This is rather sad that he's being hung out to dry (how quick to forget we are), but truth is, I don't know about the skeletons in his closet. <BR/><BR/>True, he's done a lot of laudable things, but so had Bill Clinton before he was paraded for perjury/adultery (or more recently, the Governor of New York state). If there's any truth to the charges against him, i don't think his laundry list of good deeds should cloud the prosecution's case against him. Hopefully he gets a chance to testify and clear his name.TheAfroBeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909748861182207942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551262644538051668.post-33877073911567556012008-04-28T06:02:00.000-07:002008-04-28T06:02:00.000-07:00I think he is a good man...waiting till he testifi...I think he is a good man...waiting till he testifies..........ibiluvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357025487806887917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551262644538051668.post-44191302249243320732008-04-28T02:55:00.000-07:002008-04-28T02:55:00.000-07:00YES Yar mama!

My parahrase:" men in my family don't live long anyway, so come get me." Love it. Until we have people who are willing to die doing the right thing, Nigeria will remain the corrupt mass that it is. <BR/><BR/>The jokers in that panel are just wasting their time.

Mistake, because she spent one hour telling me about all the good things he has done and how he risked his life, refusing to take bribes and such. <BR/><BR/>I moved to Abuja when it was still a village. I saw it then, I have seen it now- and I know that El-Rufai has done ALOT. I dont know anything about the ongoing trials-but I do know that El-Rufai did a darn good job.<BR/><BR/>This disheartens me!

Imagine! You accuse a man and then try to gag him. Anyway, people who know ElRufai say that only death can gag him. We are waitng with abated breaths.
