El-Rufai will leave Kaduna a poorer person says Uba Sani
The 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, has said that the state Governor, Mallam Nasir elRufai will leave the government seat a poorer person.
Sani, however, said that there was no shying away from the fact that el-Rufai made some mistakes while governing the affairs of the state because he is human.
The governorship hopeful stated this while interacting with journalists, yesterday, at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kaduna State Council. Sani also said he will continue from where el-Rufai stopped in administering Kaduna State if elected governor. He said as a lawmaker he sponsored several bills, some of which he said had been assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari.
On insecurity, Sani called for the creation of State police and licensing of vigilantes to carry arms to complement the efforts of conventional security agencies.
He charged journalists to always endure to interrogate those running for the 2023 political positions, saying most of them are out to enrich themselves than working for the good of the larger society.
