The
former minister of Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai,
has blamed the political class for ruining this country.
He
said that the tragedy of Nigeria was that those who attained political,
economic and social greatness today attained it from the ruins of the country.
El-Rufai,
who said this during the ‘book signing ceremony,’ of his latest work, The
Accidental Public Servant, added that it is only the youth that can make the
country work again.
The
former minister who lamented that Nigeria’s backwardness is worrisome said
further that many people mentioned in the book were not happy because
politicians loved to pretend that they were upright.
