“I come here to formally inform you of our decision to seek the highest office in our dear state. It is a demonstration of deep commitment to the peace, development and unity of Kaduna State.
I am set and ready to move to action, justice is paramount to development and that is my direction. I am seeking your blessings and moral backing,”
“I am not new to our state; I did my primary school, secondary school and university in our state. And also practiced here in our state before moving to Abuja where we both served with Yakowa in General Abdulsalam Abubakar’s government, and so I know our problems and together we will run a responsible and participatory government together,”
El-Rufai also told the monarch that if elected, he would rule the state with justice, equity and fairness.
