He said residents of the state now appreciate the urban development being executed across the state by his administration.
Governor El-Rufai also noted that some people were seeing him as a demolisher and seem eager for his tenure to end.
He also said his administration prefers to provide infrastructural development rather than sharing money with people in the name of empowerment or human development.
His words:
“You know the election is approaching and they see me as a demolisher “Mai rusau” so they think that maybe the next person that will come after me will not demolish but he will demolish more than I do, God willing."
