Kano state Directorate of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) has announced that it will soon commission Party Offices in all the 44 Local Government headquarters as part of efforts to support the Party’s Interim National Executive Committee led by Prof. Sule Bello.

Speaking at a meeting of the Kano State Working Committee (SWC) of the PRP held at its Kofar Mazugal state headquarters yesterday (Tuesday 9th March 2021), State Chairman, Engineer Abba Sule Namatazu said the PRP is now poised to regain the political high ground it lost to unnecessary distractions since the General Elections of 2019.

The SWC meeting had in attendance two of the three national officers of the PRP from Kano, Interim National Vice Chairperson, North West, Barrister Aisha Ibrahim Dankani and Interim National Publicity Secretary, Malam Kabiru Muhammad Gwangwazo. Others who also attended were PRP Kano North 2019 Senatorial Candidate Engr Lawal Audi Dambatta, members of the State Executive Committee (SEC) and Chairmen of Local Governments from all three Senatorial zones.

Engr Namatazu announced the decision to review and commission the Party offices at the end of the SWC as part of resolutions arrived at, by the meeting of the State PRP’s highest decision-making organ.

He recalled that the same body, the State Working Committee’s last meeting at the Kano Foundation Conference hall had reviewed issues confronting the PRP since the 2019 General Elections reaffirming confidence in the state executive.

He further announced the unanimous vote of confidence moved in support of the Interim National Executive Committee of Prof. Sule Bello and his team which included among other Interim NEC members, National Vice Chairperson, North West, and Interim National Publicity Secretary. The Tuesday 9th March meeting also received a vote of confidence moved by Local Government Chairmen to express confidence and solidarity in the State Executive Committee.

At the SWC meeting, National Vice Chairperson, Barr. Aisha Dankani saluted the steadfastness of members of the State and LG Executive Committees.

She pledged full support to all efforts to reposition the party including set up of LG offices to properly position the PRP for the teeming supporters and believers in the cause of the masses that the party is historically reputed for.

She warned that the task of emancipation is not easy and that all leaders must belt up for success to be achieved, advising against all forms of intra-party squabbles that lead to factionalism and unnecessary distractions.

According to Barr. Aisha Dankani the many problems faced by Kano and states of the North are too numerous for us to be distracted by petty internal quarrels.

Earlier speaking, Interim National Publicity Secretary, Malam Kabiru Gwangwazo reminded members of the State Working Committee of their critical importance in the PRP hierarchy as the highest decision making body at the state level only next to the State General Congress.

He expressed confidence in the state executive and satisfaction at the recognition they have got from the Interim NEC as conveyed in their meeting with Interim National Chairman Prof. Sule Bello when they paid him a courtesy call assuring him of their solidarity with the Interim NEC. That they were recognized to continue to serve as the Interim State Executive with the understanding that they will in consultation with the Interim NEC accommodate all genuine party men and women at the various levels of the party structure including committees.

Tafidan Sarkin Bai, Engr Lawan Audi Dambatta, PRP 2019 Senate Candidate who also spoke at the SWC meeting saluted the state executive committee and LG executives for their consistent support and commitment to the PRP.

The Local Government Chairmen representing each of the three senatorial zones gave reports of the state of the party in their Local Governments while the very few who could not attend sent in their apologies and reaffirmed their loyalty and solidarity with the Interim National Executive Committee led by Interim National Chairman, Prof. Sule Bello and the state executive committee.

The party SWC presided over by state chairman Engr Namatazu had in attendance state Secretary Comrade Balarabe AA Danfulani who served as meeting secretary and MC along with majority members of the Kano PRP SEC.

Resolutions conveyed at the State Working Committee are:

  4. A resolve to review and commission all PRP LG Offices and set up new offices where they are not available.
  5. A resolve to address the factionalisation of the party by reaching out to all genuinely committed party men and women to ensure accommodation and integration at all levels of the Party up to the State level.
  6. To ginger and mobilise the party for the gargantuan tasks ahead.

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

Published

on

 

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, 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.
