The Governor of Kano State, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, has revealed why President Goodluck Jonathan’s foot soldiers in the state are not campaigning for his re-election.
Kwankwaso made the assertion while playing host to a delegation from Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of the state at the Government House on a solidarity visit. The governor, who was a runner up in the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential primaries held in Lagos, said Jonathan’s foot soldiers in the state were afraid to campaign for his re-election because of the total “failure” that characterised his administration.
“It is clear that Jonathan’s men in Kano are afraid to campaign for him because they have nothing to show. We have been saying that this regime is a total failure and a disaster for Nigeria. This is why, despite our ties with the PDP, we decided to abandon the party for the APC. What Nigeria needs now is a strong leader that would correct all these mess that Nigeria is going through. The APC is providing this leader in the person of General Buhari. We would continue to work for the success of the party at all levels; from presidential downwards. And this is why we have been telling our people to be obedient to the party and its leaders,” he said.
The governor stated that it is achievement that makes people to vote for anyone, not bragging or arrogance. He said if anyone feels bragging would earn him a position; then such person will be proven wrong by the people.
Speaking also, Madakin Kano and District Head of Dawakin Tofa, Alhaji Yusuf Nabahani Cigari, who led the delegation to the government house, explained that their visit was geared towards showing their appreciation to the governor for the support he has been giving to the deputy governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who is an indigene of the area.
Meanwhile, a recent attempt by the PDP to return its former members, in the persons of former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was reportedly unsuccessful.
It would be recalled that the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, recently accused defected governors of using the ruling party’s manifesto which he claimed is responsible for their success so far.
Time has come that Electorates cannot be easily deceived. The eyes are widely open.
Game up for PDP. Farewell to the party that care less for Nigerians
Do you reason at all?. All achievements in kano so far were done under PDP and Jonathan as President. When did Kwakwa move to APC ?. Therefore be wise
2015 election is becoming more interesting, can’t wait to see who will win the presidential election!
@larry thanks for ur view u were wise enough to see it plain, if PDP fails in kano then it translate dat d governor failed aswell. d fed gov gives allocation Wat has he done for d pple of Kano, wit it. nd he has being with PDP all day. funny politicians dat make statements without watching or thinking
@ You foolish Larry and your stupid Land, don’t use ur No 6 at all. Does the money allocated to Kano State belongs to either the PDP or Jonathan? and you people should visit Kano and see things for your selves first, before you open ur mouth to challenge Kwankwaso over non performance.
Time for CHANGE is now.
Support APC for a greater and better Nigeria.
Vote wisely MY PEOPLE..
