Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai was given major contracts by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under the leadership of the suspended governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, new reports reveal.
In a Twitter conversation, the Special Assistant to the President on New Media, Reno Omokri, was asked “why is @elrufai weeping more than Sanusi over his suspension?.” His response was “I’m not sure he weeps for Sanusi. It might be the multi billion contract Elrufai & Co got from CBN that he weeps for.”
@DayoIbitoye @elrufai I'm not sure he weeps for Sanusi. It might be the multi billion contract Elrufai & Co got from CBN that he weeps for.

According to popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, Omokri has stated that if El-Rufia can deny this fact that he is ready to step aside from his office.
He said: “If Malam Nasir Elrufai can deny that his firm, Elrufai and Partners did not get a major contract from the CBN under Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, then I make a solemn oath to resign from my job as Special Assistant New Media to President Jonathan.”
