Former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state has said he joined politics solely to serve the people, not to seek money or steal public funds.
He made this assertion during a Hausa programme aired on Freedom Radio station in Kaduna state on Tuesday morning, October 1.
El-Rufai emphasized that he was content with what he had even before becoming governor, Daily Trust reported.
Recall that El-Rufai’s relationship with his successor, Uba Sani, has been strained due to the Kaduna State House of Assembly’s allegations of a N432 billion fraud against his administration. El-Rufai is currently in court to clear his name of these allegations.
The embattled El-Rufai further stated that he is prepared to swear on the Quran whenever former state governors and current leaders do the same to affirm they never misappropriated public funds.
He added that after his studies, he will return to politics by 2027 because there is no retirement in politics as there is in government work.
