Governor of Kaduna State and author of the Accidental Public servant said at the Ake Arts and Book Festival 2015 that "4 years is enough for anyone to make a change in the system, there is no need for a second term"

Governor Nasir el-Rufai made the statement yesterday in a session titled 'Minding the Business of Africa', with Howard French from the New York Times and Award-winning broadcaster Kadaria Ahmed.

He also spoke about strengthening the bilateral relations between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the People's Republic of China as China has provided extensive economic, military and political support to Nigeria in the past few years.

On contesting for a second term, Governor Nasir el-Rufai said that "I am tired of governance just 6 months into office and i wonder why anyone in his right mind would not be tired of worrying constantly about insurgencies, corruption, security etc.

"4 years is enough for me, i am tired of all this already"

He finished by saying "Although, 16 years of governance by the PDP has ruined Nigeria, the APC is here to right the wrongs and bring change"
