Kaduna state Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has explained the role state governors played in Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nomination.
Speaking at the 4th town hall meeting with stakeholders from Kaduna Central zone, El-Rufai debunked allegations making rounds in the state that he nominated Hajia Zainab Shamsudeen for President Buhari’s ministerial list, saying that he had no hand in her nomination.
He said, ”Before we were elected as Governors we advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to allow any Governor nominate minister for him, because if he allows that they will nominate somebody of their choice and not that of the President’s choice.
”And the President heed to that advice. No governor nominated any ministerial appointee for the President. And there are some people who appeared on the face as APC, but right inside them they are PDP. We know those who did anti-party. And they didn’t vote for us but they went to get house close to Buhari in Abuja for nomination. So President Buhari single handedly nominated Zainab”.
