‘I Don’t Care If I Lose The Election’ – Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai Says

Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai says he does not care if he
loses the forthcoming governorship election so long the exercise is
conducted under a transparent manner.  

El-Rufai said this today while speaking at an event organised by the
State Peace Commission, National Peace Commission and the UN. The
governor said the most important job for his administration is to govern
and ensure peaceful election in the state.  

“Let me say this on my behalf and on behalf of the Kaduna state
government of today, our most important job now is to govern the state.
What does governing the state mean? Governing state means ensuring
peaceful coexistence through to the elections and after.  

We took an oath of office to govern the state on fairness and on
justice  and we are going to do that,  like I said , till 29 May, 2019,
whether we are re-elected or not, it does not matter, if  we are
re-elected , we will  do our best. It also does not matter if we are not
re-elected.  

We will move on with our lives, politics is not our permanent
profession. This is part of the reasons why we are ready to sign the
peace accord. This election is not a do or die affair, we are not
desperate. We are campaigning on our records, we do not care if we lose
the election so long it is not stolen against the will of the
electorate” he said.
