Some members of the All
Progressive Congress, APC, in Kaduna State known as Kaduna Restoration Group,
has vowed to resist moves some APC stakeholders to present Governor Nasir
El-Rufai as the sole candidate for the 2019 gubernatorial elections.
This was contained in a statement
signed and made available to newsmen by the chairman of the group, Alhaji Ahmed
Tijani Ramalan.
Ramalan in the statement said the
governor was under the illusion that Kaduna State was an extension of
‘El-Rufa’i and Partners.’
It read in part: “If he feels
that way, then he can be excused, after all he has spend most of his adult life
outside Kaduna and may not have a proper understanding of the present political
permutations and variables that makes Kaduna State the hotbed of political
radicalism in Nigeria.
“In their desperations, they
assembled people who themselves are soon going to face opposition in party
congresses and primaries to endorse them without a contest. Those who
criticized PDP over these undemocratic ideals are the ones sponsoring it for
their own selfish interests.
“All the funds that had accrued
to this government from federal allocation, internally generated revenues,
bailout funds, Paris Club refunds have been wasted on patronage and propaganda
such that what is on ground do not justify the billions that came into
government coffers within the last two years.
“We are by this release appealing
to the electorate both at party and general level to remain unperturbed but
steadfast. The Governor in his desperate attempt to hoodwink the party and the
general populace having suddenly realized the dismal failures of his government
policies and programs which have been largely antiparty, anti people and which
lack human face.
“He is now flying the kite of
self acclaimed endorsement by Mr. President. We have every confidence that Mr.
President will never do anything in violation of the Nigerian Constitution.”
