The Presidency has lashed the former Governor of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai for confessing that four years is not enough for a political office holder to make ‘meaningful changes’.
El-Rufai who told his colleagues on live broadcast Sunday that four years can not be enough for a political office holder to make ‘meaningful changes’, while attributing it to his 8 years as State governor.
According to him, “In contrast to the political laggards and underachievers who were once governors in Anambra, Rivers and Kaduna, President Tinubu and his team have implemented meaningful changes in our country over the past two years, positioning us on the path of prosperity.
“The positive indicators are all there for the world to see—for example, increased foreign reserves, highest in 44 months. Phenomenal wealth creation in the stock market has seen ASI skyrocket from 53,000 points to over 140,000 points”.
He added, “The inflation rate has decreased in four successive months. GDP has grown by N103.5 trillion in two years. And it is still growing. Balance of payment surplus is being recorded quarter after quarter.
“Indigent students are being supported by a revolutionary loan policy, using NELFUND as the vehicle. Vulnerable Nigerians are receiving cash from the Humanitarian Ministry.
“States and local councils are receiving more money from the centre, enabling them to embark on capital projects, creating more jobs. The governors said they have never had it so good.
“Yet, these power-hungry politicians want the President, who has achieved so much, to be removed, all because they have become politically displaced and irrelevant. May they never succeed in their plot against our nation and people”, the Presidency concluded.
