The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has urged party members in Kano State to stay united in their quest to reclaim power from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) administration.
Speaking during the 8th and 9th APC Members Kano State House of Assembly Forum dinner, Dr. Ganduje, represented by the state party Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, stressed the importance of party unity. The event honored prominent APC members, including Rt. Hon. Kabiru Rurum, Rt. Hon. Hamisu Chidari, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Atta, Labaran Madari, Ayuba Durum, Babangida Yakudima, and Baffa Danagundi.
“Unity is the only way out for us; it’s the only option we have to get what we want. God has already intervened in our situation. The current government is already distorting the state; we are just waiting for time. The next election will be a matter of shifting a hen from its eggs,” Ganduje said.
He criticized NNPP leader Rabiu Kwankwaso, stating, “I always get surprised when Rabiu Kwankwaso says he is the one who has people. I can swear to God, if not for our issues that caused some of us to leave, he wouldn’t have won any election in the state.”
Ganduje expressed confidence in the party’s prospects, adding, “He will see this time around. Those that 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.”
The Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata, also spoke, emphasizing the need for unity. “What is left for us in Kano is just unity. The issue of election is not our problem. If the elections were held today, we wouldn’t have any cause to be afraid. The one we didn’t win was God’s will. Let’s just pray and forge ahead in unity,” he said.
Ata criticized the current state administration, stating, “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. I must appreciate the President for all that he is doing for us and Kano State. Anything that he does, he gives Kano a priority. When he was giving states 250 housing units, he gave Kano 500 units.”
In his address, the Chairman of the Forum, Abdul’azeez Gafasa, commended the honorees for their contributions and highlighted the importance of unity. “Our leaders are trying and have tried by bringing us together,” he said, reaffirming the forum’s commitment to mutual support and progress.
