Gov. Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna
State, on Friday said the administration would correct its mistakes and uplift
the living standard of the people in the next four years.
The governor made the commitment
in Kaduna when he received some All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in the
state who visited to congratulate him on his victory at the Court of Appeal in
the case challenging the state governorship election results.
“In four years, we will try
again, we will prepare and correct our mistakes to do better.
“We will work harder to ensure
that we raise the living standard of our people by giving them the opportunity
and the quality of that opportunity,” he said.
El-Rufai also said, “We will work
in ensuring that the confidence that people repose on us with this election is not
wasted.”
He stressed that the governorship
election was free and fair, and legitimately won by the APC, adding that the
party had nothing to do with stolen mandate.
“I want on behalf of myself and
my colleagues, express our gratitude to you for believing in us and making the
sacrifices to witness this judgement.
“We have never doubted that the
elections were free and fair, we have never asked anyone to rig elections
and we ensured that we are never
rigged out or cheat.
” We do not want fake mandate and
we want the people of Kaduna to properly elect us,” he said.
“El-Rufai said they were relieved
that election have been validated by the courts, but expressed sadness that the
party
“lost some of the state assembly
and House of Reps seats.”
Also speaking, the Deputy
Governor, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, emphasised that the administration would continue
to put the people first in its policies and programmes.
“It is time to renew our
commitment in making life better to the people of the state so that together we
can take Kaduna state to greater heights.”
She prayed to God for wisdom,
renewed commitment and zeal to put in their best to make the people proud of
the government they elected.
“You stood by us and we will
continue to do great things in Kaduna state,” she assured.
Mr Ben Kure, Senior Special
Assistant to the governor on Political Matters, who led the delegation,
described the judgement as a clear vindication of the governor’s commitment to
the downtrodden in the state.(NAN)
