Former Kaduna Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar deserves significant credit for leading economic reforms during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.
Abubakar was vice-president in the Obasanjo government from 1999 to 2007.
While he was Obasanjo’s Deputy, Atiku was responsible for overseeing the privatisation of national assets.
The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), led by El-Rufai at the time, operated under his supervision.
Speaking during a condolence visit to the family of Edwin Clark, the elder statesman and Niger Delta advocate who died on February 17, el-Rufai said Atiku deserves flowers for economic policy making under Obasanjo.
According to him: “Nobody gives Alhaji Atiku Abubakar the credit for economic policy making under the Obasanjo administration. Many of the things we did, we did under his leadership.
“Maybe because we don’t write about it, and people don’t read history, we tend to forget. We only remember negative things. Maybe it’s part of human nature.”
