godfatherism
is really evil…
In what seem to be a long awaited
opportunity to speak his mind on the political monster called ‘godfatherism’,
the former FCT minister Mallam Nasir El-Rufai said he has no godfather and that
he’s counting on the people’s support to emerge victorious in the forthcoming
Kaduna gubernatorial election. The ex-BPC boss who is also the APC
gubernatorial flag bearer said he would be answerable to the people, and not to
any godfathers.

The gubernatorial candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, on
Thursday, said God and the people of the state are his “godfather.”
The former Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory was addressing a crowd of supporters in Saminaka,
headquarters of Lere local government, during his ongoing state-wide campaign.
“I don’t have a godfather,” he
said. “The almighty God is my godfather and the good people of our dear state.
I will not be answerable to a godfather but to God and the good people of our
state. I am here to seek your support and I thank you for your assurances and
hospitality.”
He also thanked his supporters
for “being firm and insisting on quality leadership in the coming election”.
“I have said my plans as
contained in our manifesto,” he said. “We are not deceivers and soothsayers. We
mean what we are saying because we did it in another capacity and we will do
again if you give us the mandate.”
The APC candidate also spoke
about the challenges of the Permanent Voters Card.
“We also heard your cry about
voters card and the challenges. There is also the issue of the plan to steal
votes. We have heard about it. People of this local government should not let
that happen. One way to ensure that this doesn’t happen is for you to get your
voters card. During the election make sure you vote, but don’t fight with
anyone. Use your voters’ card to take out of power the current incompetent
administration in the state,” he said.
The APC senatorial candidate in
the zone, Sulaiman Hunkuyi, called on the people of the area to use their votes
wisely.
He said this was the only way to
peacefully throw out the administration that had been disappointing in the last
15 years.
He cited the bad roads in the
local government area as well as the dilapidated schools as reasons the PDP
must be voted out.
“We entered this town to see an
old primary school where prominent people from this area had their education
and we saw that the roof was blown off. These are the evidences of the terrible
times that the PDP government has subjected the people to,” he said.

Good for you...let's see how it goes...
