Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna has expressed that he prefers not to be referred to as a political godfather in Kaduna. Says “What we lack is good leadership, the majors aspects of good quality of leadership. The leader should get good people to get the job done.”
He said this on Monday During a Capacity-Enhancement Workshop for Senior Government Officials in Borno State, El-Rufai mentioned that he has only made five visits to Kaduna since stepping down from office nearly a year ago.
“I don’t want to be a godfather and that’s why I don’t interfere in what is happening in Kaduna, I want him (the governor) to learn and get the job by himself.
“What we lack is good leadership, the majors aspects of good quality of leadership. The leader should get good people to get the job done. Only God can do everything by himself, no matter how good you are as a leader, you can be as effective as people around you and that’s why the saying that no country get better than the quality of his civil services.”
