Kaduna State governor-elect, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has said that politicians must now learn that its either they work for the people or be voted out in the next four years.
El-Rufai, who spoke with journalists in an interview in Kaduna shortly after receiving the report of the All Progressives Congress (APC) transition committee said “The message I have been passing to my colleagues in politics is that, now we all know that we must either work or be voted out in four years and there is no alternative, you must work in the interest of the people.
“Here in Kaduna, my partner and I, the deputy governor-elect will work as hard as we can to deliver true development and progress in the lives of our people and if we fail in four years we will be voted out and others will be voted in. So it is a good thing and that is how it should be.”
The governor-elect also restated his determination to ensure that he runs a government that will be able to account for every penny spent.
Meanwhile, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and the out-going Speaker of the House of Representatives has charged newly elected House of Representatives members to get ready to serve the people.
While delivering his opening address to commence the retreat organised for its newly elected members of the House of Representatives, Oyegun said “I am confident that because all of us, the executive, legislature and the party, share in the common vision of ‘change’, the synergy of our common effort will make the burden of performance lighter.
Let each one of us do its bit to the best of our ability in our shared endeavour of delivering the handsome dividend of ‘change’ to our long suffering citizens.”
