I conducted a “Vox Pop” to collate public opinion on their choice of the next President come 2023.

I embarked on the exercise on the 1st of October 2020 and concluded on the 7th. I categorized my Target Respondents into three categories: YOUTHS, TRADERS, MEMBERS OF ACADEMIA AND THE LESS PRIVILEGED PEOPLE.

The responses I got from the aforementioned categories of people beats my imagination. Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso is no doubt an enigma. I can say without any fear of equivocation that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has an edge over and above whosoever is going to vie for the position of the next Nigeria’s President. Kwankwaso’s antecedents and past records are unmatched, unprecedented and unbeatable.

#

The people I interviewed according to their categories responded as below:

1. TRADERS

I visited two major markets in Kaduna Metropolitan City (Sheikh Abubakar Gumi and Kasuwar Bacci Markets). I randomly selected 20 people from each market.

In Gumi Market, my selection was devoid of religious and tribal extraction because of the multi tribal composition of the market. My mindset was to have negative responses from the non-northerners. But the fact that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has made an indelible footprints in the sand of times, his achievements speaks volumes to the hearing of everybody. Out of the 20 respondents, 18 of them were for Kwankwaso. Majority of them underscored the reason why they like Kwankwaso.

They said when Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso was the Governor of Kano State, he created an enabling environment for traders to thrive and prosper. He empowered the small scale entrepreneurs (most especially women and youths) with capital to start business.

Kwankwaso Appointed Director International Human Right Office Kano

In another development, all the 20 people I interviewed at Kasuwar Bacci Market responded positively in favour of the Political Maestro and Embodiment of Politics in present Nigeria Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.

2. YOUTHS :

It’s an understatement to say that Youths are diehard and irresistible teeming supporters of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso. There’s no iota of doubt that the love and support of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso in the minds of youths is unflinching, irrevocable and indelible. Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has positively impacted on the lives of so many youths. He’s so much inclined to education and made it as one of the most prioritized items in the agenda of his administration when he was the Governor of Kano State. He sponsored the education of thousands of youths in both local and foreign universities. Youths that were unable to make it academically were trained in various skills eg Tailoring, Welding, Carpentry, Animal Husbandry etc. After the training, they were all assisted with tools, implements and money to enable them kick-start their businesess respectively. There’s no any facet of human endeavor that the administration of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso did not touch.

It’s based on the foregoing that majority of traders, skilled and unskilled labourers have unflinching support for Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.

3. MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIA:

During the last weekend (precisely on Saturday 3rd October 2020), I attended a wedding of my friend who’s coincidentally a lecturer at Kaduna State University. The wedding was well attended by many lecturers from ABU, KASU, Kaduna Polytechnic etc. I heaved a sigh of relief for having such a wonderful opportunity to interview the lecturers.

I moved from one angle to another and randomly interviewed them with ease. I interviewed 20 people and out of the total number of the respondents 17 affirmed to me that the political permutation is glaringly showing that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso is no doubt the best Presidential candidate that can win with a landslide victory. They said, he’s going to have their vote if he becomes a Presidential Candidate because he knows the value of education considering his feat in the sector. He’s the only Governor that established 2 Universities. He sponsored the education of thousands of youths many of whom are now lecturers in Nigeria and foreign universities.

Some of them emphasized on the need to have a President like Kwankwaso who’s steadfast and has the capacity and political will to formulate and implement politicies without any fear or favour. Some of them who hailed from Kano. said Kwankwaso formulated and implemented numerous people oriented policies especially during
his second tenure as Kano State Governor. He’s well qualified for a Presidential candidature because he was an experienced Civil Servant, a former Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, a former Governor, a former Minister of Defence and a former Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

4. LESS PRIVILEGED PEOPLE :

The last but not the least category I interviewed are the less privileged people.

I visited the home of the less privileged people at Kano Road. I introduced myself and informed the leadership of the house the purpose of my visit. When asked who do they want as their next President, they all answered (in chorus) – Kwankwaso. On hearing this, I just rested my case. There was no need for me to further interview them individually because they all spoke with one voice in support of the emancipator of the masses and the less privileged.

They further lamented that the present administration promised them heaven on earth but from all indications it’s going to be a mirage.

They applauded the efforts put in place by the administration of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso in uplifting and empowering the lives of the poor and the less privileged people in Kano State.

I didn’t go to Kano to conduct this Vox Pop, I conducted it here in Kaduna. This is a true reflection of who’s Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso. He has become a household name and the most loved leader/politician who has impacted positively on the lives of people.

He transcends regional or party politics. He’s loved by people irrespective of their tribal, regional, religious and party extraction. Membership of his Political Movement (Kwankwasiyya) cut across political parties in Nigeria. Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has glaringly exhibited and showcased his popularity in the South-South (Edo State) and Soith-West (Ondo State).

It’s however not a heresay or speculation, it’s empirically proven that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso is the best Presidential Candidate that can win with a landslide victory in the 2023 Presidential election (insha Allah). VOX POPULI, VOX DEI (Voice of People is the Voice of God).

200,000 APC Members in Kano Dismiss Allegations Against Ministerial Nominee Yusuf Abdullah Atta as Baseless

Published

Over 200,000 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State have dismissed allegations of incompetence against the ministerial nominee, retired Hon. Yusuf Abdullah Atta, as baseless. Some APC members in Kano believe the allegations stem from personal grudges held by a few individuals who are not legitimate members of the party.

In a statement, Mustapha Gidan Magani, the secretary of APC Kwaciri Ward, on behalf of the entire executive committee of APC Fagge Local Government Area, rejected the allegations of anti-party activities during the 2023 general election. The executives argued that those intending to submit a petition to the Senate, claiming to represent 50,000 APC members, have no legal standing to make such claims.

The APC executives from Fagge Local Government Area are prepared to counter the petition, asserting that it will have little impact on the confirmation of Atta as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development. They expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating Atta, highlighting his administrative skills and dedication to serving humanity.

PDP Youth Activist Calls for Suspension of Shekarau, Bello Hayatu from the party

Published

Salisu Usman Karaskabuli, a youth activist of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano, has called for the immediate suspension of several high-ranking party members, including former governor Ibrahim Shekarau, Bello Hayatu Gwarzo, and Yahaya Bagobiri.

He accused them of sabotaging the party’s efforts in the state and hindering PDP’s progress in the region.

Addressing journalists in Kano, Salisu Karaskabuli alleged that Shekarau has engaged in anti-party activities during the 2023 governorship election.
“Despite being a PDP leader, the majority of his supporters backed the APC candidate,” Salisu Karaskabuli said.
He further claimed that Shekarau is already mobilizing his supporters to work for Senator Barau’s governorship ambitions in 2027, signaling ongoing disloyalty.

Salisu Karaskabuli also blamed the PDP National Vice Chairman for the Northwest Bello Hayatu Gwarzo for failing to unite the party across the region.
He noted that prominent PDP members, such as former governors Ibrahim Shema of Katsina and Ramalan Yero of Kaduna, had defected to other parties due to Gwarzo’s ineffective leadership.
Concerning the recent PDP congress in Kano, Usman expressed frustration, rejecting the outcomes of the ward, local government, and state congresses.
He accused the leadership of the party for partisan zoning and disqualifying candidates without valid reasons.

Further accusations were leveled at Yahaya Bagobiri, the chairman of PDP elders in Kano.
Salisu Usman claimed that Bagobiri had leaked sensitive party information to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) leader Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Usman Karaskabuli called on the national leadership of the PDP to investigate the accused members and, if found guilty, take appropriate disciplinary action.

The accusations come at a time when the PDP in Kano and the wider Northwest is grappling with internal divisions, which some fear could weaken the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

APC Youth Activist Urges President Tinubu to Appoint Murtala Sule Garo as Minister

Sadiq Ali Sango

 

Sadiq Ali Sango, a prominent youth activist of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider appointing Murtala Sule Garo as a minister in the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle.
Sango made this known in a statement released to journalists in Kano.

The Federal Government recently announced that President Tinubu would soon reshuffle his cabinet, sparking widespread speculation over potential new appointees.
Sango expressed optimism that Garo, a grassroots politician with a proven track record, would be a fitting choice for a ministerial position.

“Murtala Sule Garo is not only a politician but a true son of the soil, with immense contributions to the APC in Kano,” Sango stated.
“His service as the APC’s deputy gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 election and his unwavering commitment to the party despite not having the reins of government in Kano makes him the ideal candidate for Tinubu’s cabinet.”

Sango further highlighted Garo’s role in holding the party together during difficult times, describing him as the “supporting pillar” of the APC in Kano.
“He has carried the party on his shoulders, providing support to party leaders and members alike,” he added.

With the APC no longer in control of Kano State’s government, Garo’s influence at the grassroots level has been pivotal for the party’s continued strength in the region.
According to Sango, Garo’s appointment would reinforce the party’s position in Kano and contribute to the success of President Tinubu’s administration.

The call for Murtala Sule Garo’s inclusion in the Federal Executive Council comes amid growing anticipation regarding the composition of the new cabinet and the need for strong political figures to represent Kano at the national level.
