He said, “I don’t have any ambition. I have never had ambition. Even when I ran for governor of Kaduna State, it was because President Buhari, General Buhari, then, insisted that I should run.
“I do not have ambition. Where I come from and in my religion, wanting something for yourself, is taboo and it is prohibited.
“You only go into a leadership situation if you are invited, if you are asked to run. You do not crave for leadership, you run away from leadership, because leadership is a heavy burden that can destroy you.
“So unless God sends leadership opportunities, you don’t go for it. That is not who we are. Traditionally, that is not what my religious tenets instruct me. So I have no personal ambition.
“I just want to see a country that works. In a country that works, I do not need to be anything to thrive. I know that I work hard, I do my things honestly with dedication, and I will do well.
“I do not have to have a position or aspire to any position to do well.
