The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, and other stakeholders in the party have urged the members in Kano State to be united so as to wrest power from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) administration in the state.
Mr Ganduje made the call during the eighth and ninth Kano State House of Assembly APC members forum dinner.
The dinner was held in honour of Rt. Hon. Kabiru Rurum, Rt. Hon. Hamisu Chidari, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Atta, Labaran Madari, Ayuba Durum, Babangida Yakudima and Baffa Danagundi.
Mr Ganduje, represented by the state chairman of the party, Abdullahi Abbas, stressed that unity remained the only option for the party to regain power in 2027.
”God has already intervened in our situation; the current government is already distorting the state; we are just waiting for time,” said Mr Ganduje. ”The next election will be a matter of shifting a hen from its eggs.”
The former Kano governor said it was surprising that Rabiu Kwankwaso, the founder of the NNPP, claimed he “is the one who has people.”
”I can swear to God if not for our issues that some of us went away, he wouldn’t have won any election in the state.
”He will see this time around. He will understand that those who helped him are already disappointed and regretting.
“I am assuring you that we are done with Kwankwasiyya. Even the governor is not aware of all that is going on,” Mr Ganduje stated.
Also speaking, the Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata, lamented the disunity in the Kano APC.
“What is left for us in Kano is just unity, the issue of election is not our problem; if the elections will hold today, we don’t have any concerns or course to be afraid.
“We must work towards reclaiming Kano because the way the state is being handled now, we all know it’s not in good hands. Nobody is enjoying the leadership.
In his welcome speech, the forum’s chairman, Abdul’azeez Gafasa, expressed gratitude for the unity of the forum.
