The pathological liar is reputed to be a professional land rustler. Well, this comes as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with the service record of the czar.

The Sodangi report on his stewardship as FCT minister readily comes to mind. Elrufai wa so enmeshed in Land rustling in the FCT, to the extent that even government land especially in prime area's like maitama was not spared by his insatiable appetite to grab all that he could swindle for himself and his close allies. It is a well known public policy, that under no circustances under the land use act, should government Land be converted for any other purpose, except for public use. That never sunk into ambivalent corrupt ridden, accidental civil servant as he fondly call himself.

One thing is patently clear with the czar and even Obasanjo has stated it very clearly in his book, whence he stated that Elrufai's loyalty is only to himself and his shadow.The import of this, is that,the czar is disastrously unfit to hold any position of public trust thus his service track record too, evince same.

He converted land belonging to PHCN in Abuja to personal use by allocating same to himself, immediate family members, even including the unborn child as at then. If not for the malaise of a corrupt ridden system, to the sodangi report which banned him from ever holding public office, would have saved us the myraid of deep rooted problems which his reign as emperor in Sir kashim house foisted on the good people of our dear state.

I can assure you, much as Uba Sani has been trying his bit in Kaduna to cement the fissures of ethno religious and cultural differences which he has worked up on the state, next 3 year's may not be enough to heal same.Thus, when Elrufai was elected governor of Kaduna state , courtesy of the whirlwind that brought APC, Buhari et all to power, those of us who knew his antecedents were never disappointed by his record of stewardship, as the saying goe's to the leopard can never change it's skin, so like Abuja, pronto too, in Kaduna, even messier.

We may recall that it is the same mr clean stuff, who sold the then Nigerian telecommunication ( NITEL), to a smudge placeholder in portugal who headquarters was hosted in 20 ft portkabin and assets was no were even near 1000% of the net worth of nitel. That is vintage Elrufai for you.

A very smooth liar and agent provocateur that is is, who thrives in controversy, we later understood him better, that he fan's in that , so as to distract attention from his illicit deals and abuse of office. Welcome the emperor of Sir kashim house. The land rustler within his first Year in office got the lands and survey ministry, to issue him no less than 67 no's carve out from government properties in choice area's of the capital city . The assumption at the ministry was that Elrufai, would allocate same to political appointees as use to be the practice. However, the czar to the chargin of all, deployed his Abuja formula in his characteristis style, placeholders were allocated the carve out, certainly, you know what i mean, blind trust for the czar, who has two koro koro eye's.

The public partnership development ( PP) , for large chunk of land in the millennium city is largely a placeholder policy, with the czar having substantial cut in the allocation. There is a massive hectarage of land behind zenith Bank Yakubu Gowan way, something in the realm of over 40 hectares , also been held in, is it blind trust by a placeholder of his, the area is currently been cleared for development, simultaneously another hotel development project along Jabi road is on going, by another placeholder as usual, this massive land has an hectarage in the region of 15 hecters, is it the hotel chalets on quarto road, that is also another locust classicus of the Czar's acquisition.

The accidental civil servants record has an un beatten copius track record of poor Governance, corruption, maladminisstration, anti people policy's' etall. If, i may ask and urge Uba Sani as part of the recovery of looted funds, where is the 150,000 barrel's per day refinery, which he allocated and disbursed money for, to be be sited in Niger republic that never saw the light of day?

The over $8 million dollars consultancy funds drawn on the fabled Kaduna mono rail project that still remains in the pipeline. hmm, the Kaduna metropolitan CCTV project, the $ 350 million loans execution is populated by largely intangibles, consultancy payments and close to nill capital project's. Governor Uba Sani can only make some tangible progress if and only if, he constitute both a judicial panel of inquiry and a team of forensic auditors to clinically probe the eight locust year's of the czar.

Lastly, the Czar has left an unmatched record of land rustling ever witnessed in the annals of Kaduna state by any Governor, yet he has the audacity in his characteristics shameful manner, to say, he has only one property in Kaduna whole of Kaduna metropolitan capital. The czar must know, karma is a bitch and it is already taking it's toll on him.
