Pastors support El-Rufai re-election


A group of clerics under the auspices of Amalgamated Kaduna Pastors
has endorsed the re-election of Governor Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai for a
second term in office.
In a press statement made available to journalists yesterday, the pastors said they took the decision having patiently watched the politics in Kaduna and in recognition of laudable
achievements under the present administration.


The statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Rev. Nath Omale
stated that the group at an emergency meeting on March 4, resolved
to work assiduously to ensure the re-election of El-Rufai in the governorship election.


The group said the current Kaduna state government has
provided dividends of democracy to all nooks and crannies of the state
and freed the state from the shackles of goodfatherism and enslavement
by giving equal opportunities and appointments to all irrespective of
tribe or religion, they said.


The group said Governor El-Rufai as a leader do not
allow religion and tribalism to determine his focus in areas of
development across the state and should be given another mandate to
finish all projects he started
The pastors distanced themselves from a statement credited to
the Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Kaduna, Rev.
Joseph Hayab disparaging the person of Governor El-Rufai
and his style if administration, adding that the statement was his
personal opinion.
