As the 2023 general elections draw nearer and with politicians from all walks of life trying their best to enter Kano state government House, the people of Kano should immediately start strategizing and separate the chaff from the grain.

Former Freedom Radio Journalist Elected Councillor
Nigeria’s democracy is maturing by the day and Kano being the citadel and bastion of Nigeria’s politicking from the days of NEPU, the state has never had it so bad until the present administration came to power on May 29 2015.

As a political analyst people may ask why Iam packaging a candidate to Kano electorate who was part of the very government that retarded the progress of Kano, I may say several reasons abound, Muhuyi is his own man since he started the struggle in enforcing good governance from his days as a freedom fighter in Kano state.

Available evidence has shown that Kano Governors that performed creditably well served the state during their Youthful ages and Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado has fitted into that category if Kano people voted wisely and elect him as their Governor come 2023.

The best performing Governors in its history were late Alhaji Audu Bako who became the Governor at the age of 44,Late Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar Rimi at the age of 39, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso at the age of 43 and Malam Ibrahim Shekarau at the age of 48 who is even more older than the rest.

Till this day no one match the records of these governors while the much celebrated anti corruption Czar, Malam Muhuyi Magaji is in his early forty’s and his achievements have spoken for themselves and will continue to speak for themselves.

Apart from the system we are operating in Nigeria, honesty and commitment is one of the best qualities that sells a public officer in Nigeria, without casting aspersion on the mind of the reader, by the time Nigeria returns to Democracy in 1999,the only Anti corruption Czar that drew the attention of the world to Nigeria is the Youthful Malam Nuhu Ribadu.

Every student of history knew very that Malam Nuhu Ribadu has never compromise his stance in ridding Nigeria of corruption and was quickly kicked out of the system that made him because they fear the consequences.

The same trend followed by the former chairman of Kano state Anti corruption commission Malam Muhuyi Magaji,he never compromise the independence of the commission and was trying to tidy up Kano from corruption and corrupt practices when the powers that made him like Nuhu Ribadu feared the consequences of their action and kicked out Muhuyi Magaji without recourse to due process.

Students of comparative politics will definitely believe that the two national anti corruption Czars of Malam Nuhu Ribadu and Muhuyi Magaji shared the same character and characteristics, the same manner and mannerisms so also the same vigor in fighting corruption.

The reason why the above issues were narrated is that most populous state like Kano needs energetic young man with vigor and who is free from corruption to mount the saddle of governance so that the state will be saved from the clutches of maladministration it was subjected to in the almost 7 years of the APC government.

The asset in Muhuyi Magaji is incomparable to the rest of the aspirants in APC and PDP who want succeed Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje in 2023.

The higher, middle and lower class are very much conversant with how the former Chairman fought for their right when looters and corrupt individuals looted their money, whenever the case is brought before the state’s anti- corruption boss without wasting time the billions or a single Naira looted are recovered and returned to their owners.

We don’t need to mention names, if it is in advanced democracy those aspiring to rule Kano in 2023 from the APC will be campaigning on their own right not following the governor to anoint any of them because they know pretty well that the administration has committed several blows interms of healthcare provision, infrastructure, water supply and electricity as the streets of Kano are becoming darker by the day.

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.

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.
