Details Of Wike, El-Rufai’s Meeting Emerges

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, met his Kaduna counterpart, Nasir El-Rufai.

According to him, the APC governor is never known to be sycophantic in nature, describing him as fearless and a courageous man who speaks truth to the powers that be.

The governor noted that it was only El-Rufai out of courage that insisted that the 2023 presidency must go to the southern part of Nigeria for the sake of unity and progress of the country.

The duo spoke at a book presentation on El-Rufai, titled, ‘Putting The People First,’ authored by a veteran journalist and public commentator, Emmanuel Ado, in Kaduna on Saturday.

The book was reviewed by a former Nigerian Television Authority’s ace newscaster, Eugenia Abu.

Wike recalled the controversial letter El-Rufai wrote the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in March 2017, where he challenged Buhari to deliver the people’s expectations to avoid being on the wrong side of history.

“El-Rufai, for me is one leader that who’s greatness defies categorisation. Governor El-Rufai embodies character, commitment and hard work. He is bold. He’s courageous and daring with a strong spirit of Justice, equity, and fairness.

“He (El-Rufai) is socio-politically assertive and unbending in his loyalty to principles. Governor El-Rufai is never known to be sycophantic. I could remember his controversial letter to President Muhammad Buhari, especially the one written in March 2017 that challenged him to deliver the people’s expectations to avoid falling on the wrong side of history,” he said.

Also speaking, El-Rufai thanked Wike for all the accolades about him, saying, “Our path may not have crossed long before now but God’s time is the best. Whatever Wike said about me is also applicable to him. He is as outspoken and fearless.”
