Former President<br \/>\nGoodluck Jonathan, who brought out El-rufai from exil can&#8217;t forget in a<br \/>\nhurry how this same man betrayed him. It is a matter of time el-rufai will<br \/>\nalso betray President Buhari once the president no longer in power.<\/p>\n<p>According to Timi Frank, &#8220;the huge task of governance which el-rufai has<br \/>\npractically failed woefully in Kaduna supposed to be paramount to him<br \/>\ninstead of deploying his strongest power against Turaki Adamawa, who is<br \/>\nfar above the governor in all levels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just two days ago, more than 45 innocent citizens of Kaduna lost their<br \/>\nlives immediately el-rufai launched a bill board in Southern Kaduna<br \/>\napologising for his maladministration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While calling on Nigerians to disregard whatever the governor might have<br \/>\nsaid about the former vice President, Frank also called on Governors forum<br \/>\nand the leadership of APC to call Mallam el-rufai to order.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if El-rufai does not respect Atiku as a person he should respect the<br \/>\ninstitution and the position the former Vice President held in this<br \/>\ncountry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frank also cautioned the governor not to drag President Buhari into<br \/>\nwhatever controversy he has with the former vice President, saying &#8220;Atiku<br \/>\nhas supported the president and he will continue to support him to drive<br \/>\nthe change mantra of APC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The APC spokesman also called on Atiku Abubakar\u00a0 not to join issue with<br \/>\nthe governor considering the wide margin of different between them.<\/p>\n<p>Frank, however, asked governor el-rufai to immediate tender an apology to<br \/>\nTuraki Adamawa, saying the former Vice President has contributed immensely<br \/>\nto sustain democracy in Nigeria &#8220;and he remain one of the highest private<br \/>\nemployers of labour in the country.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Acting National Publicity Secretary Comrade Timi Frank, has described &#8220;as an ingrate and a perpetual betrayal&#8221;
