According to Sahara reporters, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna state governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), concluded his governorship campaign in his hometown of Zaria in front of a huge crowd at the Eid Praying Ground.
El-Rufai said the size of the crowd that supported him proved that change is inevitable and that a new dawn beckoned of development and purposeful leadership.
El-Rufai was quoted by
Premium Times Nigeria as saying; “I am emotional and touched because of the way
and manner we were received. We were received with total acceptance, trust and
confidence that we have all it takes to rebuild our dear state.
“Our state is in need of
direction, focus and practical leadership that will bring about justice,
development and purposeful leadership to manage our complexities. Kaduna State
is in search of a competent and capable sailor and crew to sail our state out
of the storm.
“We are in the middle of
this dangerous navigation, but we are confident that by the special grace of
Almighty God we will sail to safety. It is not about us but what is best for
tomorrow and the future.
“You should remember that
we are standing before history and posterity, we must strive to stand for the
best of the future that outlives our personal interests. We must be bold,
courageous and firm to give the people of Kaduna our best .
“Think of our younger
brothers and sisters, think of our children and grand-children, think of
multiple generations ahead. Let us write our names in gold, and so stand up and
save Kaduna State.”
El-Rufai continued by
condemning political violence, and advised his supporters to be calm.
“Be law abiding, respect
law and order, leave them to God but use your votes wisely during elections.
Violence is not the solution but good governance that will be provided by
competent, sincere, honest and God-fearing leadership.”
His campaign was a huge
success and here are pictures of his rally in the Zazzau Emirate.
Mallam El-Rufai has been
endorsed by Professor Pat Utomi, who called on the people of Kaduna State to give
the former FCT minister the chance to bring about positive changes in the state.
