2023 Presidency:Ganduje Urges Fellow Governors To Unite

Published

on

 

 

 

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has called on his colleagues, governors of all states in the federation to concentrate more in making moves that can unite the country, instead of making public, contrary and uncomplimentary comments about the future of democracy in the country.

He made the call in his speech at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kofar Mata, Kano, Friday, at Independence Day celebration, urging them to always put Nigeria first before any other consideration.

“A situation whereby governors on one region will talk uncomplimentary remarks to governors from other side of the country, is not a civilised way of dealing with issues at hand,” he cautioned.

According to him “Some of those issues raised are political parties issues, that can be resolved by our various parties. I also understand that, this issue of political dichotomy is that of power shift.”

Explaining further that, “It has been a tradition in the country to have zoning. Which is a strategy by political parties. Each party has it’s own strategy to win elections. And in each of such strategies the Constitution is not affected.”

While urging that such issues should be left to varying political parties, he pleaded that, “This dichotomy will not take us anywhere, so long as we want stay together as one indivisible and united Nigeria.

I am therefore calling on the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, to call the attention of our Governors to strive hard for the unity of the country,” he pleaded.

Adding that, “Governor Fayemi should call all governors for a meeting and urge us to apologise to each other. We should leave this matter to our political parties.”

In a statement by Abba Anwar Governors chief press secretary which was obtained by the NIGERIAN TRACKER Governor Ganduje maintained that, the recent statements and counter-statements between governors was unfortunate and totally uncalled for.

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

#

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
