Nasir El-Rufai on Power, Politics, and Obasanjo’s Third Term Agenda

Power can be understood through various structural perspectives. The class-based view developed by Marx and Engels places power in the ownership of the means of production, creating a bourgeois class that controls power to the detriment of workers, who make up a dependent class. This disparity inevitably leads to class conflict.
Another perspective, the elite theory of power, divides society into a dominant and dependent class but attributes the influence of the dominant class (elite) to competence, excellence, and aptitude. However, this does not hold in Nigeria, where political elites have increasingly become a burden on the state.
This interview with Nasir El-Rufai, conducted before his tenure as the governor of Kaduna State, delves into the intricacies of power in Nigeria. It particularly focuses on Obasanjo's politics and his controversial third-term agenda.

El-Rufai is a man of wit, intelligence, knowledge, and man pf power, he understood the language of power and it dynamics; oh! This book is a great book to read, insightful with depth. Like everyone, he is an imperfect being with his excesses like everyone.

Truly, real power is embedded in the in-depth knowledge. Every thoroughly executed power is a product of In-depth knowledge. Most Nigerians are always intimidated with people with In-depth knowledge because they misplaced it for arrogance. El-Rufia has some In-depth knowledge, and Lamido Sanusi

He should go and answer the questions about the debt burden his administration left for his successor.
