The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has advised Governor Ganduje of Kano State not to use the Government House for APC, Chieftain Bola Tinubu’s birthday.
The forum described the plan as “an insult on the symbol of
authority that the Government House has been to the Kano people for decades”.
Alhaji Yerima Shettima, National President, AYCF, in a
statement lamented the choice of Kano Government House as the only place in the
North for celebrating Tinubu’s birthday.
The National President observed alleged that “a man who kept
quiet while Northerners were under attack in Oyo and some parts of the
Southwest. While people from Ganduje’s Northern Nigeria were being maimed,
Tinubu kept mute even when Northerners’ assets were being destroyed in some
parts of the Southwest.
“In the guise of hunting down imaginary herdsmen, he could
not even condemn the violence. Yet this is shamelessly the special guest for
Ganduje in Kano Government House.”
The group explained that Kano is not only the financial
nerve centre of the North, stressing, “the symbol of the region’s cultural and
historical pride, up to today and we won’t fold our arms and watch this pillar
of the North turned into a birthday party venue for people who are not
officials of any government in the country.”
The AYCF asked Governor Ganduje not to allow himself to be
used as the only governor in the North to avail a whole symbol of authority,
adding that the Government House is not for a private citizen’s birthday party,
saying that something no Lagos State Governor has ever done to even the most
respected politicians or private individuals from the North.
The forum asked, “Why can’t the governor of Lagos State, where
Tinubu has a lot of influence do so inside the Government House, Alausa? Has
Governor Ganduje ever hosted Aminu Kano’s remembrance in Government House? And
if Governor Ganduje is so desperate about pleasing Tinubu, either as an
associate or political godfather what stops him from using event centres and
the stadium in Kano Municipal that could be more conveniently used for such
purposes? Why must it be Government House?”
The group advised Governor Ganduje to drop what it called
the primitive idea of hosting a private individual inside Kano Government
House, or else they would apply all legitimate means of stopping the
embarrassing wastage and denigration of the official abode of a Governor for
fun.
