I commend mr. President for doing the right thing. I am sure that if he has been doing that without favour or sentiment our country would have been a better place.

Birds of same feathers they say, flock together. I have no sympathy for Mr Nnaji who is part of the Jonathan reform by association . Infact It'll be my sincere suggestion to disqualify him from any position of power and authority in any future dispensation in the country . These men are so priviledged in that dirty nation , yet the 're prone to bleed the country all the time with the least opportunity . As far as I am concerned , Berth Nnaji who calls himself a Professor made a conscious decesion to defraud the nation and thus breached the law of the land . He seem apologetic because he got caught, otherwise he'll be revelling in his smartness. This is an Ibo man who is aware of the prevailing economic and social problem facing the nation and it is my view the President is looking for dependale citizesn to help him give the critical citizens some hope back . I read one of his types berating the regime for not allowing known untrustworthy individuals to remain after the calous performance and lack of dignity he had shown . Ironically these men have gotten used to doing the job same way and have no skill to follow the rule of law . In Canada where I live and work , conflict of interest will get you off the door irrespective which power or political party you belong. I am sorry to tell you Mr El-Rufai, you have no room to work here if that is your standard, more so to be a Minister of any type . Hope Mr Jonathan will start to discover why we hate him and his workstyle . His office seem to have become den of looters and lawless powerhouses. with no respect to authority . This is how Nigerians will judge your contribution to govern the country.
