“Buhari Will Inherit A Wrecked Economy Like He Did In 1983" - El-Rufai




The All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on Tuesday said the party’s presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, would inherit a "wrecked" economy if elected as president in February.

The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory(FCT) who spoke at an Organised Private Sector’s interactive session in Kaduna, said he too would inherit a bankrupt state after the governorship election if he is elected as governor of Kaduna state.

“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 noted that the state had been bedeviled with domestic liabilities totalling N106bn and that most of the monies received or generated internally were used to settle debts; and that about N700bn had been wasted in the past seven years in the state, a situation he described as “most unfortunate.”

El-Rufai 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.
He also promised to ensure that the take home salary of teachers were higher than any civil servant in the state workforce, and also strengthen security in the state.

The former minister, who described the Agricultural Transformation Agenda of the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government as a complete failure, promised to provide meaningful agricultural enabling environment for farmers by setting up of marketing boards, adding that the APC government would transfer mining rights to states.
On employment generation, he said he would liaise with the Federal Government to revive the comatose textile industry in the state so that “jobs will be created and youths will be productively engaged.”
