His words:
“The journey of progress started by Governor El-Rufai is one we must sustain since governance is a never-ending process. We must secure all that His Excellency has been able to achieve under the platform of the APC as a reform-minded political party.
“As we gradually come close to the end of the trailblazing administration of Governor El-Rufai, our immediate task is to ensure that the progress and achievements of the APC in the last seven years are not reversed or derailed.
“I believe that only continuity will guarantee that Kaduna will match forward with the determined leadership it has witnessed under the APC.”
The former chief of staff to Governor El-Rufai said he has been privileged to learn from the governor and understudy the thinking behind every policy intervention and decision of the APC government.
He stressed that he is putting himself forward based on the need to ensure the continuity of excellent performance witnessed in the last seven years.
He added:
“My immediate priority is to sustain the current level of achievements and build on them to advance the development of Kaduna state, expand its security and prosperity, and grow a vibrant economy driven by quality service and transparent leadership. I already have a blueprint for actualizing all these, including one on security.”
The international development expert noted that his experience as a critical player in the international development circle, with training in development, economy, and policy, and with a network in the global community, makes him a perfect fit for the job.
