Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has stated that he has no ambition for 2023, but he would back any candidate who emerged from the APC zoning system, irrespective of the region. ayokinews.com reports
El-Rufai stated this while speaking at the Presidential Communications Team’s weekly ministerial press briefing on Thursday, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Fielding questions from state house correspondence, he said: “I have zero ambition. I just want to finish this job, get on with my private life, write another book and make tonnes of money. The largest amount of money I ever got in my life was from writing the book, ‘Accidental Public Servant’.”
“I have no ambition; I’ve never had any ambition. And if I die today, I am quite accomplished and happy, because I never in my life, based on my humble background, ever thought I would even enter this building.”
APC Governors Have Agreed On Simple, Equitable Zoning Formula — El-Rufai
“God has been very kind to me. And my outings in the public service have all been satisfactory? Why push my luck and go for a job with a 90 per cent chance of failure? So, I’m not an ambitious person. I’m just a person that gets things done when given the opportunity.”
“I’ve never desired to run even for this governorship. It was President Buhari who literally forced me to run. He insisted that some of us run for governorship just in case he did not get elected again. He felt that we needed some ‘strong governance’. Those were the words he used. So, I have no aspirations.”
