2023 Presidency: El-Rufai denies campaign posters

Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has denied knowledge of the people posting campaign posters of him as vice presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election running with Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi. Governor el-Rufai made the denial while fielding questions from journalists after he met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.

The Kaduna State Governor said that he had also called Amaechi who he denied knowledge of those printing and pasting the pictures.

According to him: “I don’t know who is printing those posters, wasting his or her money printing posters.  I heard about them.  I called Minister, Amaechi, and asked him whether he knew anything about them; he said he didn’t know. “I think we need to trace who is doing it and ask that person.

I am governor of Kaduna State; I have job to do.  I haven’t delivered on the promises I made to the people of Kaduna State.  Until I do that I don’t want to discuss anything.”

On whether he has been approached by people and asked to contest the 2023 election, he said that as a politician, people could approach him, but that he would not be sure of what their intentions would be. “I am in politics.  People will approach you, but whether they are genuine or not is another matter and whether you are interested or not is another matter,” el-Rufai said.
