why I joined politics – Former Governor, El-Rufai
Former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said he joined politics solely to serve the people, not to seek money or steal public funds.
He stated during a Hausa program aired on Freedom Radio station in Kaduna on Tuesday morning.
“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, he said
