Why Nigeria would not renew El – Rufai’s passport.

The Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s leadership in Nigeria has decided to refuse the renewal of the international passport of Former Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr. Nasir El – Rufai.

El – Rufai allegedly left Nigeria and refused to give a proper account of his tenure concerning allegations and expropriation of land in the F.C.T.

It is further alleged that El- Rufai, who shuttles the U.S and U.K. goes around bad mouthing his country of birth and the incumbent administration.  He also allegedly refuses to give account of his conduct.

The administration in Nigeria is said to have refused to renew El – Rufai’s Passport in order to clip his wings and roll back his penchant for eluding investigation  and possible trial in Nigeria.

A source close to El – Rufai said that the ex – minister is crowing and alleging a witch hunt.  Even a visit to London for the express purpose of renewing his expired passport was said to have yielded no good result.

The refusal order for the renewal was said to have emanated from Muhktar, the security aide to President Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua.
