Circling through the grapevine are reports which insinuate that former FCT Minister, Nasir el-Rufai, has intentions to contest for the governorship of Kaduna state at the 2015 elections.
According to Ada Osakwe, the Senior Advisor to Akinwumi Adesina, Minister of Agriculture, “El-Rufai has announced his intention to run for the governorship of his state.”
Osakwe recently revealed this via her Twitter handle.
Apparently, El-rufai addressed the “Tutu fellows” gathering at Oxford University on Thursday, 4 September, where he reportedly made the statement.
Below is her series of Tweets which suggest that Nasir el-Rufai may be gunning to be governor of the northern state of Kaduna.
Today @elrufai announced his intention to run for governorship of his state. Fantastic! #TutuFellows2014 @AfricasLeaders

I will like Elrufia to taste his popularity to see his true level in life.People who by appointments always do not realise the importance of political decency.
