HE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN NIGERIA. THE FEAR OF HIM IS THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SANITY

Someone I Know Tapped the Phone of the National Security Adviser for me , and we listened to his conversation 

- Nasir El-Rufai, former Governor of KADUNA State

So during this interview with Arise Television the former Governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai El-rufai admitted that someone  tapped (literally hacked ) the phone of the National Security Adviser, NSA Nuhu Ribadu for him and he was able to listen to the NSA conversation.

According to Rufai ,why justifying the tapping, "The NSA’s call was tapped. They do that to our calls too, and we heard him saying they should arrest me."

The Interviewer Charles Aniagolu, shocked by the revelation briskly interjected that that was an illegal action. El-Rufai agreed with him , that what he did was  an  illegality but said it was justifiable because " the government also listen to our own  too. The Government thinks they are the only one who listen to calls, we have our way too. "

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo described Nasir El-Rufai as a talented but immature leader with a "pathological" penchant for disloyalty and reputation-savaging during his time as FCT Minister (2003–2007). Obasanjo confirmed rejecting pressure to make El-Rufai his 2007 successor, citing a need for "maturity" and alleging that El-Rufai lacked consistent loyalty to anyone but himself. 

Key details regarding Obasanjo's assessment of El-Rufai include:

Talent vs. Character: While acknowledging El-Rufai's high intelligence (referred to as "elephantine brain" in his book), Obasanjo criticized his character, stating he was a "pathological purveyor of untruths" and prone to betraying friends and colleagues.

"Small Man Syndrome": In his 2014 memoir, Obasanjo stated that El-Rufai is plagued by "small man syndrome," suggesting a need to "play himself up to give himself more 'height' than he has".

2007 Succession: Obasanjo confirmed that he rejected the proposal to make El-Rufai his successor, noting that even El-Rufai later admitted, upon reviewing his own performance years later, that Obasanjo was right about his need to mature.

Need for Supervision: Despite his criticisms, Obasanjo acknowledged El-Rufai's performance in his administration and believed he could be useful in public service, but only "under guidance and sufficient oversight".

These remarks highlight a complex relationship where Obasanjo recognized El-Rufai's competence as a technocrat but found him unfit for supreme leadership at the time due to character flaws.
