El-Rufai Is Not Electable, Should Not Contest In 2019 - KRG

A group in Kaduna that goes by the name Kaduna Restoration Group (KRG) has made know its dissatisfaction with the second term bid of Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna state.

The group also doubt the fact that the sitting governor can even win the upcoming governorship election, stating that it is aware that the governor is just so desperate to remain in power after 2019.

The group also accused the governor, of orchestrating his second term endorsement by a section of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) according to the statement jointly signed by Ahmed Tijjani Ramalan and Yusuf Dankofa, chairman and secretary of the group respectively.

The statement read: ''We are also aware of the desperation of the governor and his cronies, who have clearly seen that despite their hollow propaganda to project their so called candidate as the best thing to have happened to Kaduna state in recent times, have realised that the masses of Kaduna state and other teeming stakeholders, have come to understand that the governor is simply unsellable and unelectable in 2019.

It is based on the above background that the said political jobbers, who are themselves political liabilities with zero electoral value, decided to adopt this ‘black market’ approach to clear the coast for their benefactor, which is an antithesis to all known democratic ethos that embody fair contest and choice for the people.''

According to the group, ''After spending about three years in office, Governor el-Rufai had dissipated more energy in fighting and abusing perceived enemies, apart from embarking on white elephant and multitude of incomplete and abandoned projects. ''No wonder the banters in the political space, that ‘in states like Adamawa there is work’, while ‘in Kaduna, there is noise’, are fast becoming a trend in social media.
