Former Minister of Federal Capital Territory and All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Kaduna state in continuation of his tour in Southern Kaduna yesterday said APC members should not respond to blackmail politics instead stick to issue based politics for cogent even development.
The former minister, who addressed members in Kafanchan before he left for Abuja, also condemned killings occurring in the area which he described as ungodly and desecration of humanity.
On the way forward for Kaduna state, El-Rufai said: “We shouldn’t personalise issues, it is not about El-Rufai, and it is about the state and the people. It is about getting capable leadership to run government with justice, fear of God and vision.
“In the name of God don’t blackmail any one; don’t engage anyone in harsh words instead play issue-based politics. Like I said, it is not about me. I also thank you for ignoring fabricated hate messages being attributed to my person. Thank you for also not replying sponsored campaign of calumny, the beauty is, once you do thorough checks you will realise that it is politically motivated, they have helped this project immensely because the society knows the truth.
“What we need immediately is a government that must sincerely invest in education, health, good governance, economy, infrastructure, population structure and demographic dividend so as to save the future.”
On the killings in Southern Kaduna, El-Rufai, who commiserated with affected communities, said: “The killings is troubling and stand condemned, because life is sacred and only God creates human beings and there is no reason whatsoever for any man to take the life of another person. All these killings are barbaric and unfortunate.”
