Suddenly,
the name Nasir El-Rufai reverberates round the city of Abuja, with hundreds of
residents remembering him for his good works!
The
reason for doing so is not far-fetched: The Capital City is gradually – and
steadily – deteriorating into huge slum!
“Now, the roads are bad; people defacing the City; Okada riders are back
on the roads , Keke Napep drivers are now a scourge”, reports one Idris
Choji. “It is a shame; no single road
has been repaired in the last 6 years; most drainages – the whole of Lokogoma
axis – are covered with filths”, said Mr. Idris. The sad reality is that no one is there to give
instructions – or directives. “This is
not to mention the traffic gridlock encountered daily in the City and of course
crime increase”, he added. Criminals –
most especially Okada riders are now emboldened threatening lives of other motorists. “This wouldn’t have happened under El-Rufai”,
remarked one Salim Musa. “He has what
they call leadership qualities”, he concludes. Nasir El-Rufai is the former
minister of the capital territory who made sure that Abuja regained its
liveliness. Since his departure, there has never been any with his kind of
heart. The current minister is strangely a mere observer doing absolutely
nothing despite the huge trust the President has on him.
