The Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has debunked the claim that he has already handpicked one of his aide to succeed him in 2023.
In a phone-in programme on Friday, January 10, the governor disclosed that already there are about 10 person vieing for the position.
According to him only God gives power to whoever he chooses.
The governor however went on to say that although it is everybody’s constitutional right to aspire towards the post, it is quite early to start having that ambition, as he had just spent a year.
“Even though everyone has the right to aspire as long as he meets the constitutional requirements but it is to early to start aspiring for the plum office.
“We were given the mandate to administer the state for the next four years and we have not spent even one year and people have started coming out to aspire. To me, this is not only a distraction but a disservice to the people who voted us,” he said.
The governor went on to reveal that while some people were busy thinking that his successor would be a male, he may decide to pick a female just as he did when he selected his deputy Hadiza Balarabe.
