Media reports claiming that Mallams Nasir El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu are set to
rebuff government's invitation to join in nation-building have recently
been circulating the rumour mills and have been brought to the
attention of these preeminent gentlemen.
We the undersigned,
acting not on the instructions of these patriots who have enviable and
proven track-records of service to the Father-land and whom are
committed to the task of re-engineering this country into its rightful
place of leadership and prominence in the continent and within the
community of nations; hereby state unequivocally that Mallams El-Rufai
and Nuhu Ribadu are willing to support the efforts of His Excellency,
The Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to set our nation on its proper
course, give hope and pride once again to the polity and deliver on the
promise to our people.
Both the former FCT Minister and the
former EFCC Chairman are willing to put the uncomplimentary events of
the past behind, dissociate themselves from these rumours and are
available to support the task of nation-building in any way possible.
We are unable to ignore the alleged assassination a few days ago of
Danjuma Mohammed, a former EFCC investigator. Being aware that some
elements continue to work relentlessly to rule this nation by proxy
through intimidation and acts of terrorism, we urge all fair-minded
Nigerians to disregard the afore referred rumours and chalk them up to
the machinations of persons who are desperate to keep the nation under
their thumbs and in perpetual slavery to their selfish ambitions and
aggrandizement. Those statements emanated neither from Nasir El-Rufai
nor Nuhu Ribadu.
Nigerians are not intimidated. We are not terrorized. May the gentle soul of the departed rest in peace.
