“I don’t have the right to just leave, of course.
The people entrusted me with the leadership of the region.
And to justify this trust is my sacred duty.
I can leave only by asking the people and the President of Russia.
Therefore, we will leave the talk about indefinite leave for the future, ”Kadyrov wrote on Telegram.
According to him, holding the post of head of the republic for 15 years, he is not the main "long-liver" among his colleagues.
“I’m not the same as the “long-liver” - the previous record, as it turns out, is 27 years.
Therefore, I will say more: now I have decided to go for breaking the current record, ”concluded Kadyrov.
Earlier, Kadyrov said that he "stayed too long" in his position and deserved an indefinite vacation.
He also noted that he is a "long-liver" among the current heads of Russian regions.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov then said that the Kremlin saw Kadyrov's messages about indefinite leave, but this "has not yet materialized."
