Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, on
Monday sneaked into the ancient city of Kano where he addressed his supporters
at his Milla Road residence in Kano metropolis.
Many of his supporters were not
aware of his arrival in Kano as the trip was not announced.
The former Governor, who is a
presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had
recently endorsed his son-in law, Abba Kabir Yusuf as his choice for 2019
governorship seat, an action that irked some of his followers.
However, Kwankwaso appealed to
his followers to remain calm.
“I’m in Kano to see you and say
thank you for the brotherhood and progressive unity we enjoy as Kwankwasiyya
members. Certainly, we will sit and talk on vital issues affecting us”, NAN
quoted him as saying.
The lawmaker explained that his
choice of Abba Kabir Yusuf was necessary because most of his projects including
the famous Kano Kofar Nassarawa flyover were designed and executed by Yusuf.
“Today most of the projects being
executed by Ganduje are not durable and of low standard while huge amount of
money was being spent on them.
“But our projects, which mostly
were designed and executed by Abba Kabir Yusuf are today standing firm in
Kano,” he said.
Kwankwaso, who spent only one
hour in Kano, told his supporters who thronged his house that he was willing to
sit with them and iron things out.
“If not for the fact that I’m
busy and rushing back to Abuja for the Presidential screening going on right
now, I would have loved to sit and discuss vital issues with you”, he said.
He promised to return in the next
few weeks to resolve some of the issues on the forthcoming elections in 2019.
Among his loyalists at the
meeting were: former Chief of Staff and Commissioner for Water Resources, Dr
Yunusa Dangwani, Abba Kabir Yusuf, a former Commissioner of Works as well as
Aminu Abdulsalam, his former commissioner of State Affairs.
