Former FCT minister Mallam El-Rufai wrote a memoir titled The Accidental Public Servant which was unveiled in Abuja today, and in the book he criticized a few politicians...one of them former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar. In the book, El-Rufai described Atiku as a corrupt power hungry politician and alleged that he (El-Rufai) had almost resigned as the former Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) because of persistent pressure and interference by Atiku, who was then the Chairman of the National Council on Privatization
Atiku has reacted to the content of the book,
calling it a collection of fiction and exaggeration.
It amazes me that El Rufai can pass off fiction for
self-gratification at the expense of truth as a book. El-Rufai's attack on my
person is to say the least not surprising considering that this is the same man
who has notoriety for disparaging religions and their icons, including lately
Jesus Christ.

If he could go to such irreverent extent to
disparage religious icons, who is an ordinary mortal like me? It is my belief
that any man that can cross the boundary of reason and decency deserves prayers
rather than anger.”
I wish to state that the book is as a collection of
fiction, half-truths, exaggeration and reflection of selective memory.
