Governor Nasir El-rufai of Kaduna state has revealed that he has no intentions of contesting for president in the forth coming 2022 elections.
Governor El-rufai said he will support any candidate who emerges from All Progressive Congress, APC, zoning structure, irrespective of the geopolitical zone of the candidate.
He made this known during the ministerial press briefing at the presidential villa, Abuja where he stressed that all he wants is just to get out office and concentrate in his private life, write another book and make tons of money.
He said; “I have zero ambitions. I just want to finish this job, get on with my private life, write another book, and make tons of money. The largest amount of money I ever got in my life was from writing Accidental Public Servant.
“I have no ambition; I’ve never had any ambition. And if I die today, I am quite accomplished and happy because I never in my life, based on my humble background, ever thought I would even enter this building ever in my life; how?
“God has been very kind to me. And my outings in public service have all been satisfactory? Why push my luck and go for a job with a 90 per cent chance of failure? So I’m not an ambitious person. I’m just a person that gets things done when given the opportunity. I’ve never desired to run even for this governorship.
Speaking of his choice of candidate in the 2023 presidential t, he said; “I will support any APC candidate if I’m satisfied he will do the best for Nigeria. It doesn’t matter whether he’s from southwest, southeast or south-south; APC is what matters and the quality of the person.
“The discussion we are having is that the Presidency is zoned to the South. It’s not zoned to any particular place in the South. The South will have the first go at it. But we’re waiting to see who the aspirants are.”
