The former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has made a strong statement regarding his intentions in politics, emphasizing that he entered public service solely to serve the people and not to enrich himself or misuse public funds. Speaking on a Hausa program aired on Freedom Radio station in Kaduna, El-Rufai expressed his contentment with his financial situation even before holding office.

Despite facing allegations of misappropriating over N423 billion during his tenure, El-Rufai and his allies have vehemently denied these claims, attributing them to witch hunts conducted by the Kaduna State House of Assembly and government. The former governor also expressed his willingness to swear on the Quran to affirm his innocence, challenging other former governors and current leaders to do the same.

He said, “I was quiet to see how things would turn out, but for me, I always ask God to help me in whatever I do in life because, as a human being, I always try not to do anything wrong or betray the people’s trust.

With a resolve to continue his service to the people and a firm belief in seeking divine justice, Nasir El-Rufai’s words reflect his dedication to public service and his unwavering commitment to the people of Kaduna State.

“I always say that whenever the former governors of Kaduna State and other leaders decide to take an oath swearing with the Quran that they never took people’s money, I’m also ready to swear. This is because I know that I didn’t go into public service to steal or take people’s money. I joined politics only to serve the people of Kaduna State; I didn’t come to look for money, because I give glory to God that I’m content with what I had even before becoming governor. Yet, we were accused of misappropriation of funds during our tenure without being given a specific area where the money went missing or who took it.

Yet they are going after my allies by inviting them to the ICPC and EFCC with the intention of tarnishing their names. As for me, I had already prayed two Raka’at on Friday night, leaving everything to God, seeking His judgment. This is why I’m not saying much about the issue.

“But it’s surprising and painful what is happening; such is life. What I would like to say here is that whatever evil plans, witch-hunts, and lies against us should continue because we have reported the issue to God, and God willing, we will get justice from Him.

“If you report something to God, you must desist from making comments. Although I have ordered my lawyers to sue in court against attempts to tarnish my name, that will continue. But presently, I’m doing fine by going about my normal activities such as reading and writing.

“You can still continue working for the people even after government, and that is what we are doing right now. We are still working alongside those who cherish serving the people, not those who enter politics or governance to siphon public funds to add to their wealth. That is not our intention. God knows that, and the people with positive minds know that too. May God bring development to our people,” he said.

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, stating, “We will return and continue with politics, God willing.”
