Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has spoken about President Buhari again.

“As a governor I come here, I have blank cheques, no one checks me at the gate but I believe what the President needs is for those that love him to keep away from him and allow him to rest The President needs quality time to rest because it is meeting too many people that strains leadership”

I am a governor and I know that when I meet 10 people in a day I get really tired, it is not the paperwork, it is not really the memos approving them or asking questions that strain a leader, it is the stream of visitors.

I do not want to contribute to the President’s problem by coming here every day. I am in touch with him,’’

“Let me appeal to all of us that love the President to please allow him some space so that he will recover.

We need him and the country needs him, it is in our interest for the stability of the country, we should just let him be. It is absolutely necessary lets us leave him to do his work in the privacy of his room or his office without strings of visitors. Visitors stress leaders.

my relationship with the President has never been strained in anyway. I met with him last night”.

“I did not talk about things like that but our relationship with him is like that of father and son and it is privilege for me.’’
