Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai
The former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said some of the policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration are wrong.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV on Monday, El-Rufai disclosed that though he supports some of the Tinubu government’s policies, the sequencing of some of the reforms is wrong.
The former Governor added that the quality of the people implementing the policies is also wrong.
He said, “I support some of (Tinubu) policies; most of the economic policies are the right orthodox policies, but the sequencing is wrong and the quality of the people implementing the reforms leaves much to be desired. And I think that some of the reforms are just wrong.”
“You don’t address food inflation by destroying domestic agriculture. Food prices may be going down, but farmers are being impoverished because they are being made to compete with subsidised agricultural products from Europe and other countries. So I have issues with many of them, and I’m in touch with many senior officials of the administration, and I give them my opinion privately.”
