The immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has said he does not want to be addressed as a political godfather in the state.
El-Rufai said this on Monday in Borno State at a Capacity-Enhancement Workshop for Senior Government Officials.
He said since he left office on May 29, 2023, he has only visited Kaduna State five times.
He said: “I don’t want to be a godfather.
“And that’s why I don’t interfere in what is happening in Kaduna.
“I want him (the governor) to learn and get the job by himself.
