Controversial former minister for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Malam Nasir el-Rufai, has revealed in his new book, the Accidental Public Servant, that deceased President Umar Musa Yar’adua suspected that he might pass on and had began to think of successors.
El-Rufai described a sensational encounter Yar’adua had with an influential Northern emir...
Apparently having premonitions of what may befall him, this emir asked the late President Yar’adua if he had a choice of successors so that the emir’s spiritualists could pray over the names and give him insight on who would be the best pick.
According to el-Rufai, Yar’adua thought hard and long then requested for a piece of paper and wrote four names. The names on the list were his wife, Turai Yar’adua, his first governor son-in-law, Saidu Dakingari of Kebbi state followed by the second one, Isa Yuguda of Bauchi state and finally, the then incumbent governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki.
