Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has credited former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for his significant role in driving economic reforms during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. As Obasanjo’s Vice, Atiku oversaw the privatization of national assets through the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), which was led by El-Rufai at the time.
During a condolence visit to the family of late elder statesman Edwin Clark, El-Rufai praised Atiku’s contributions to economic policy, lamenting that history often overlooks his efforts. This recognition contrasts with El-Rufai’s past criticisms of Atiku, including allegations of corruption.
Atiku shared the visit on social media, emphasizing Clark’s legacy of unity and inclusiveness in Nigeria.
