APC Never Promised To Keep Fuel Subsidy, Redesign Currency – Kaduna Gov El-Rufai

Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, has disclosed that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC never promised to keep the fuel subsidy policy and redesign naira notes.

The Kaduna State Governor said this today Wednesday, when addressing the newsmen .

El-Rufai claimed that there was a difference between the decision of the regime of the Nigeria President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and the ruling APC party’s manifesto.

According to him, “The president is not on the ballot. The president has his tenure up to 29th May. He may not want to remove subsidy. If you look at our manifesto, we never promised to keep petroleum subsidy, we never did. Our party never promised to redesign the currency. It’s not on our manifesto.

“You need to separate the personal decisions of some people in the villa from the manifesto of the party. It is important to understand that.”

When asked if there is a division between the people in the (Aso Rock) villa and members of the government, who are also party members, El Rufai responded saying, “Most of them are not (APC members). That’s what’s interesting.”

Probed further about division between those around the president Buhari and those within the party, he said further, “I believe there are elements in the villa that want us to lose the election because they didn’t get their way.”
