Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has disassociated
himself from campaign posters advertising his vice presidential ambition for
2023.
Posters of El-Rufai as running mate to Minister of
Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi had emerged last week.
The messages on the posters read: “The People’s choice,”
“Today may not be the best, but tomorrow will be better”.
Reacting, El-Rufai told State House Correspondents after a
meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday at the Presidential Villa
that he had no knowledge of the posters and neither did he know those behind
it.
He also said Amaechi had since denied knowledge of those
printing and pasting the pictures.
“I don’t know who is
printing those posters, wasting his or her money printing posters. I heard
about them. I called Minister, Amaechi, and asked him whether he knew anything
about them; he said he didn’t know.
“I think we need to trace who is doing it and ask that
person. I am governor of Kaduna State; I have job to do. I haven’t delivered on
the promises I made to the people of Kaduna State. Until I do that I don’t want
to discuss anything.”
Speaking on if he had been approached by people and asked to
contest the 2023 election, the Governor said “I am in politics. People will
approach you, but whether they are genuine or not is another matter and whether
you are interested or not is another matter.”
