Only God and Buhari can determine my fate in 2019- El Rufai

Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El Rufai said that his fate over the 2019 elections can only be determined by God and President Muhammadu Buhari.

The fiery Governor made the declaration in a special phone-in programme to mark his second year in office and reported in Tribune.

Governor El Rufai said, “If the president comes and meet me and said I want you to re-contest or otherwise, I have no option than to obey his command.

“Afterall, in 2014 or thereabout, I had my own plans before the President asked me to contest the exalted position of the governor and the rest is now history.”

The Governor dismissed the allusion that his government had received grants from Melinda Gates for some of the projects being implemented in the state capital and its locality,

According to him, “We have not only cut cost in governance but we have saved to carry out these projects.

“We were not reckless in our spending but we are very meticulous and prudent in our finances. Your money is safe.”

He also cautioned those promoting division and violence to desist such acts reinforcing that  violence would only lead to destruction and not development.”

The Governor assured that his administration had lined up so many programmes for the youths, pointing out that, young and qualified youths would be recruited in the state civil service.
