Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, yesterday said the in-coming administration will not touch funds belonging to the 23 local government areas of the state.
He said the local government areas will be allowed to run the affairs of their councils without any form of interference.
The governor-elect stated this when the forum of APC local government chairmen in the state paid him a congratulatory visit.
According to him, “We must do what our people want and what will benefit them. And we must be firm in bringing positive change and coherent development in Kaduna state.
“We will not touch a kobo or naira of local government councils in the state. The local government areas must be allowed to deliver development and real change.
“They must go and work; development is practical and not invisible. We will not tolerate waste and mismanagement of public resources. We will also not tolerate incompetence from officials charged with promoting the well-being of our state.” He said.
However, Alhaji Naibi Ibrahim Sambo, who led the delegation of APC chairmen, said they were in Kaduna to congratulate the governor-elect and pray for his success as governor.
Sambo explained that the people of Kaduna State voted for El-Rufai because they are convinced he will take the state to greater heights. He pledged the support of the forum towards restoring the lost glory of the state.
Sambo said the APC chairmen are delighted that the state is now in safe hands with El-Rufai as governor, considering his track record of transparency and accountability in public service.
