Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso he would strive to forge ahead with the giant strides of his boss in myriad spheres of human endeavour adding that his loyalty to Kwankwaso and Kwankwasiyya ideology would remain unshakeable throughout the tenure of his leadership.

“If given the mandate, we shall by the grace of God accord priority to education at all levels, Health care services, Agricultural transformation, Infrastructure Development, Security and job creation through employment and empowerment, Civil Service reform and the restoration of Local Government Service” he stressed.

“Distinguished Delegates, Fellow Kanawas, Ladies and Gentlemen, we will work tirelessly to restore the lost glory of Kano and dignify once again its image in the eyes of the world which has been rubbished by self-centred Government in the last seven years” he remarked.

“Our loyalty and continuity shall be on fight against corruption not on stocking dollars it shall be on continuity and development projects not on land grabbing of public schools, Hospitals, Grave yards, Badala etc. Our continuity shall also be on straightening the Civil Service through training, promotion, recruitment and timely payment of pension and salaries” he retorted.

“It shall also be continuity with the protection of lives and properties of all citizens and residents within the State not on financing thuggery, and drug abuse. above all, it shall be continuity with the entrenchment of true democratic values and not truncating democracy through the illegality of inconclusiveness” he concluded.

The convention returning officer Senator Bala Aujara said Abba was returned unopposed by the delegates from the 44 Local Government Areas.
