According to Sahara Reporters report, while speaking during
El-Rufai’s public declaration to run for governorship seat in Kaduna,
Buhari, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives, APC, stated that
the people of Kaduna needs El-Rufai to rescue the state from bad
leadership and decay.
“I am here to ask deliberately for your support for El-Rufai, he is the right man to fix Kaduna right.
“He is courageous and has what it takes to perform. He is the solution to your problems; you need sincere and competent leaders like him,” Buhari said.
Also, in his address, El-Rufai, who was one time Minister of the FCT, said, “I
consulted widely with people –from traditional rulers, respected elders
and public officials that can speak out, as well as ordinary people who
have no voice but rely on someone to speak for them.
“My purpose was to listen to the people and understand what they wanted from the state government and how the government and the people can work together to develop our state.
“To say that I was shocked by the level of neglect is an understatement.
“Our road networks have fallen into disrepair; our schools have no basic teaching and learning tools; our teachers are not motivated; our hospitals and clinics lack essential resources to mitigate the challenges of healthcare and our civil servants are not being sufficiently motivated.
“Poverty has become worse; unemployment has become more pervasive; agricultural productivity has declined; internally generated revenues are too low to even pay salaries. The picture is indeed very bleak.”
