Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has disclosed that
he almost lost his reelection bid in 2019 because he sacked some teachers.
El-Rufai said he tested some teachers and those who failed
were sacked.
He explained that he was willing to sacrifice his second
term ambition in order to give Kaduna children quality education.
El-Rufai disclosed this at the Ekiti State’s Fountain Summit
2021 yesterday.
According to the Governor, the decision to sack the teachers
led to threats that he would lose the election.
“My brother here was said to have lost his second term bid
the first time because he threatened to test teachers.
“I tested them and fired them before our election. When I
was asked that I would lose the second term, I said if losing a second term in
office will give Kaduna State children a future with better primary education,
I am ready to let it go,” El-Rufai said.
The governor insisted that the test was honestly carried out
and devoid of partisan politics.
