Presidential spokes person, Doyin Okupe has expressed his anger over El-rufai's criticism of President Jonathan's call request to the United States and Britain to help Nigeria stop oil theft.
Okupe said,
The president did not just wake up one day and say Britain and America should help us. It was just one of the various internal steps that were taken.
There were funds given to the Navy to acquire boats, and they are already producing results. It is just like smuggling, you make a law, you empower the Customs to impound goods at the point of entry, and also ban sale of such products in the stores,” he said.
“So, what government has done is it to stop this oil theft at our end and if they escape checks and balances that we put in place, if those people don’t buy from them, then, they will stop. So, why is El-Rufai pretending to be stupid? El-Rufai is a name that is disgraceful in my mouth, but I will try to respond. El-Rufai is a liar, who went to the extent of writing a book that is full of lies, similes, things that are untrue, half-truths, he will now quote three pages of discussions with people when he did not record them, and these are things that happened six to seven years ago, so, when I say he is a liar, I mean it
