Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam
Nasir El-Rufai, has said that as a member of the ‘Buharist group’, he has no
ambition to contest for the presidency in 2019.
El-Rufai stated this while
speaking with State House reporters, after meeting with President Muhammadu
Buhari in the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.
He also revealed that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Governors and Ministers have decided to back Buhari
to re-contest.
“My name has continuously been
mentioned as a Presidential aspirant since 2007 after my years in the FCT,
there is nothing new about that.
“What I want to say here very,
very clearly is that I have never been a Presidential aspirant, I have never
even been a gubernatorial aspirant.
“I am governor today by the grace
of God because President Buhari called me and said go and run for Governor of
Kaduna state.
“As far as 2019 is concerned, my
position is the President (Muhammadu Buhari) is looking very well, he is
recuperating very fast. My hope and prayer is he will contest in 2019,” he
said.
