El-Rufai to Buhari: APC has failed to manage expectations

The All Progressives Congress (APC) administration has not only failed to manage expectations of a populace but has failed to deliver even mundane matters of governance outside of our successes in fighting Boko Haram insurgency and corruption,” Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State said in a 30-page memo sent to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The memo was sent in September 2016 but only became public yesterday after it was posted SaharaReporters.

El-Rufai said the APC had made the situation in Nigeria worse than it met it by failing to be proactive in taking key decisions.

“Overall, the feeling even among our supporters today is that the APC government is not doing well,” he also said.

He said the situation was compounded by the fact that some officials President Buhari seemed “to believe and may have persuaded him that current APC State Governors must have no say and must also be totally excluded from political consultations, key appointments and decision-making at the federal level”.

El-Rufai, who said Buhari President Buhari remained Nigeria’s only hope now, said it is not too late to reverse the situation.

“Mr. President, it is also clear to many of us that have studied your political career, that so long as you remain in the political landscape, no Northerner will emerge successfully on the national scene.

“All those wasting time, money and other resources to run in 2019 either do not realize this divinelyordained situation or are merely destined to keep others employed and rich from electoral project doomed to certain failure,” said El-Rufai.
