Kwankwaso and I are modern Kano architects - Ganduje

-
 

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state says that Former Governor Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso and his humble self (Governor Ganduje) are the architects of modern Kano.

With this Ganduje recognises the infrastructural and developmental stride of his predecessor whom he had described as the administration that had set Kano back noting then that Kwankwaso’s administration projects were “Aika-Aika” in Hausa, which means substandard projects.

A statement issued on Sunday by Chief Press Secretary to Kano State Governor, Abba Anwar said Ganduje stated at a stakeholders meeting held at Coronation Hall, Government House, Kano, with leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) across all the 44 local governments and state leadership.

The statement said the meeting was to brief them about the judgement of the Court of Appeal delivered last Thursday on the leadership of the party at Wards and local governments.

‘’Describing how people were amazed at the level of development in the state, particularly those who were not in the state for a long time, he said, “Those responsible for the new face of the state, are Kwankwaso and Ganduje,’’ the statement said.

‘’Assuring that, his administration would continue to sustain developmental projects and policies for the development of the state, at all levels of government, emphasizing that, “…from ward level, to local government up to state level.”

‘’Reiterating that, “The two governors, (himself and Kwankwaso) did their best in face lifting the state. And I will continue to maintain this as a governor of Kano state.”

According to the statement, ‘’after thanking President Muhammadu Buhari and the Convention National Caretaker Chairman of the party, governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, and members of his team, for their concern over resolving the internal misunderstanding of the party’s leadership in the state, he invited those who lost in the Court of Appeal ruling, to come back and join hands together to make the party stronger.’’

‘’While charging party leadership at all levels to take the issue of periodic meetings seriously, he hinted that, “We set in motion, the process of strengthening internal democracy. As well as party financing. We will do everything possible to also ensure the sustainability of this strength.”

“We should all understand that, strong party leadership is a prerequisite that helps government to perform very well. As Court of Appeal made its ruling, which favours us, anyway, we should therefore tight our belts for the success of our party as we are facing contests with other opposition parties.’’
