Read What Patrick Obahiagbon Said About Governor El-Rufai

The Chief of Staff to the Edo State Governor, Patrick Obahiagbon, has commended the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, over his leadership style since he was inaugurated as governor on May 29.

El-Rufai, who was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, is among the few governors who have announced a reduction in their salaries and made some structural changes in government.

Obahiagbon, in a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, maintained that there was a difference between politics and governance and that El-Rufai had succeeded in striking a balance between the two.

The former lawmaker, who represented Oredo constituency at the House of Representatives, said he wished that more capable and efficient people like El-Rufai were in government.

Obahiagbon, therefore, predicted that the Kaduna State governor will be a “star performer.”

He said, “It doesn’t take half a brain to see that Mallam El-Rufai will be a star performer. I wish we could have more like him in governance. Politics is one thing. Administration is another.”
