YNAIJA PREDICTION: We predict that APC’s Nasir el-Rufai will win Kaduna guber elections

Mallam-Nasir-el-Rufai

The battle for Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, is between Nasir El-Rufai of the APC and the incumbent governor, Ramalan Yero of the PDP.

El-Rufai is popularly known amongst the masses as “Mai Ruso”, meaning the “Demolisher”, an alias he got due to the role he played in Abuja as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration where he became feared by almost all the politicians in the FCT due to his propensity for demolitions as a result of his insistence on the total adherence and actualization of the Abuja Master plan.

He came into limelight during his appointment as the Director General of Bureau for Public Enterprise (BPE) and became more popular when he was appointed as Minister for Federal Capital Territory.

For Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, his political career started when he became the Commissioner for Finance in the Namadi Sambo Government, where he was later selected as the Deputy Governor to Patrick Yakowa. And as enshrined in the Constitution, following the death of Yakowa, he assumed mantle of leadership as the Governor of the state.

The emergence of Yero came as a surprise to many who had seen themselves as political juggernauts and felt they should determine who gets what in the state. So, little attention was paid to him when he was a deputy governor. But as fate would have it, Yero emerged as governor after the death of Sir Ibrahim Yakowa.

Though, the incumbency factor ought to be an added advantage for Yero in the state, coupled with the overwhelming support he enjoys from the Southern part of the state, his opponent from the APC is leaving no stone unturned as he has pasted his picture together with that of
General Muhamadu Buhari in all the nooks and crannies of the state hoping to take advantage of the APC Presidential-Elect’s popularity to clinch the seat.

The general perception amongst the people of Kaduna is that the current
governor is not up to the task and the people have complained many times about his administration. Factor in the results from the presidential elections, and it looks like a win for El Rufai.

Verdict: El-Rufai.
