The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufa’i has stated that some northerners kicking against restructuring do not represent the interest of the region.
This statement was made by the Kaduna governor, El-Rufa’i on Tuesday, during a panel session at the 26th Nigerian Economic Summit (#NES 26) in Abuja.
The governor, who is the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) committee on restructuring, had earlier stated northern Nigeria will be the biggest beneficiary if the country is restructured, adding that all the governors in the region agree to restructuring, and that those against it only speak for themselves.
Speaking further, el-Rufa’i said he is not sure when the report submitted by his committee in June 2018 will be implemented.
According to him, “It is very clear that things have to change. We have to redesign the architecture of our politics. Various conferences and committees have made very sound recommendations. It just needs to be implemented.
“The earlier Nigeria retraces its steps and puts merit, competence, capability and capacity, the better. We must have people in government being trained to take over from us”, he summed up.
