Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State while at an Organised Private Sector’s interactive session in Kaduna said his party’s presidential candidate will inherit a bad economy, just has himself will takeover a bankrupt state if elected.
He made this remarks yesterday.
Mallam El-Rufai pointed out that Kaduna State is bedeviled with domestic liabilities and owes about N106 billion to various sources.
The former Federal Capital Territory Minister also bemoaned 700 billion naira has been wasted in the past 7 years in Kaduna state, a situation he described as most unfortunate.
El-Rufai noted that the nation was presently passing through an economic crisis as it was in 1983.
“General Muhammadu Buhari will be inheriting a broken economy like he did in 1983, just like I am going to likely inherit a bankrupt state when we take over power,” he said.
He said if elected in the February 28 governorship poll, he would, among other things, develop human capital, ensure a free and compulsory education for the first nine years for all children in the state as well as fix schools and improve teachers’ training.
