Okonjo Iweala Not as Intelligent as Sanusi-Elrufai

Elrufai

Still smarting from the setback of the planned 5000 note which he had endorsed and which President Jonathan has now suspended the pint sized controversial former minister of the FCT, Malam Nasir Elrufai, has dropped another bombshell, this time claiming that the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy is not as intelligent as his in-law, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who he termed as "the only brain" in President Jonathan's govt. 

It would be recalled that Mrs. Okonjo Iweala is the Obasanjo era Minister for finance that oversaw Nigeria's exit from the Paris club of debtor nations by paying off the nation's debt. She later went on to become a Managing Director at the World Bank and came close to being elected World Bank President this year. She has a PhD in Economics.

On the other hand, Sanusi Lamido bagged a Masters in Islamic Studies from Khartoum, Sudan and has been a banker at UBA before his appointment by the late President Yar'adua as CBN governor.

Unknown to most Nigerians Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the CBN governor is married to the younger sister of one of Elrufai's three wives.

Elrufai made these sensational assertions on his twitter profile.
