He also promised to govern the state with equity, fairness and justice, adding that under his administration, there would be no discrimination.
El-Rufai said, “I will govern the state with equity, fairness and justice, I will equally use the resources of the state to develop and better the lives of the people of the state.
“In our government, there will be no discrimination of any kind on the basis of religion, ethnicity, settler or indigene, everybody resident in the state will be given equal treatment”.
Meanwhile, the Senator-elect for Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, who was present at the campaign office where Governor-elect El-rufai delivered his acceptance speech, has described the victory of the APC as liberation from the PDP’s 16 years of misrule.
“The total Eradication of the PDP from our political landscape and our lives is the only way of cleansing our country of pests and parasites, who strangled and suffocated our people for sixteen years”, he said.
