The Governor of Kaduna State,
Nasir El-Rufai, has stated that he won’t waste his time reading the special
statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on the President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration because it was too long.
Obasanjo had earlier last week,
written a lengthy and strong-worded statement where he advised Buhari not to
run in the 2019 election, adding that the President should resign, go home and
rest.
Fielding questions from Channel
TV on the state of the nation, El-Rufai said he was rather too busy to read the
statement but added that Obasanjo was entitled to his opinion.
He said, “I have not. It is too
long. I am very busy, but I got the gist of it. President Obasanjo is a
Nigerian, he is a patriot, and he is entitled to his opinion just like every
other Nigerian.
“The Presidency has issued a
response, the party has issued a response, and that closes the matter. We are
moving on.
“I believe that President Buhari
is the one that will advance the interest of Nigeria and the stability of the
country.”
The ex-Federal Capital Territory,
FCT, Minister added that his vociferous support for President Buhari was not
because he wants to ride on his coat-tail for his own second term as governor
of Kaduna.
He added, “I believe that it is
in the overall interest of our party and the stability of Nigeria; It is not
because I stand to gain or lose anything. But it is because in everything I’ve
done since I got into public service, for me the interest of Nigeria comes
first.
“God has given me everything
through the instrumentality of this country – I don’t need anything as a person
but what I need is to see a country that is making progress, that is stable and
leave a legacy for our children to build on it.”
