Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El Rufai has said he will travel out of the state as soon as he leaves office on May 29, 2023.
The Governor said he will relocate from the state after relinquishing power to his successor.
He said the decision was not to involve himself in the affairs of the incoming administration.
He said he does not want to interfere in the activities of the next All Progressives Congress, APC government.
The governor made this revelation while addressing party members at a town hall meeting which was organized by the Kaduna central senatorial district.
He added that he was hopeful that the governorship candidate of his party, Senator Uba Sani will win the election.
El-Rufai said that he had known the Uba for over 20 years and he has proven his worth as a reliable candidate.
He referred to Senator Uba Sani as a great successor who will advance the state if he becomes the governor.
While speaking at the event, Senator Uba Sani revealed that he has remained a student of El rufai’s school of government and policy for 20 years and he has accumulated many ‘degrees’ from the school.
“In this school, there were some people who entered before me, people like the Secretary to the State Government, Malam Balarabe Abbas Lawal, who is my senior. However, the school has no graduation date. So, we are still learning,” he added.
“Before the coming of this administration, government’s resources were being shared amongst a few elites, after payment of salaries. So, there was nothing left for development, in spite of the huge resources that Kaduna state was receiving as federal allocation.
“But Malam Nasir El Rufai changed that narrative by improving education, revamping healthcare and building infrastructure that is benefitting the good people of Kaduna state, instead of a few people,’’ he added.
