A former Governor of Kano State
and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Rabi’u Musa
Kwankwaso, has said the incoming administration in the state will not be able
to pay N30, 000 minimum wage.
Kwankwaso, who said his party was
sure of victory in the supplementary election, added that the new
administration was anticipating to inherit an empty treasury from Governor
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led administration.
Kwankwaso made the claim when he
addressed a group of Kwankwassiyya supporters in Kaduna, yesterday.
He said the PDP will not continue
with the payment of N30, 000 minimum wage as promised workers by Ganduje.
Kwankwaso said, “As the leader of
the party in Kano, I have directed our Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, not to pay
the minimum wage because that is the APC manifesto and we will not take it.
“Anyway, we will ensure that
workers get their salaries on or before the 25th of every month, but what we
will not do is to pay the minimum wage.”
The Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared the Kano governorship election
inconclusive.
This was after the candidate of
PDP, Abba Kabir Yusuf had polled 1,014,474 votes while APC’s Ganduje had 987,819.
The margin of 26,655 votes
between the two top candidates, however, meant it was impossible for electoral
umpire to declare a winner.
