The gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Redemption
Party, PRP, in Kano State, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, has said Governor Ganduje
remains his father and he will never backstab him.
Salihu Tanko Yakasai who served as an aide to the governor
for six years but was sacked for criticising the government of President
Muhammadu Buhari, told, newsmen in Kano, Wednesday, that although so many
people find solace in backstabbing Ganduje he will never be a party to do that.
He said, “although I’m the gubernatorial candidate of the
PRP in Kano, this does not mean I will go the extra mile to do away with my
bosom relationship with Ganduje, whom I see as my Father and who treats me as
such”.
Salihu Tanko Yakasai said, ”politics does not mean stupidity
and me being the gubernatorial candidate of the PRP does not gives me any
unwarranted chance to backstab my Boss whom I still hold in esteem,” he
insisted.
Yakassai who was sacked twice from the government of Ganduje
for attacking the Buhari administration said he has no regrets about
criticising the Buhari government.
“But now that things are improving on security, are we not
commending the President, I think my position on being critical of national
discourse remains, and I have no regrets criticising Buhari Government when I
did so”.
Speaking on the challenge of his party standing against the
two main Nigerian parties of APC and PDP in Kano, Yakasai, reminded that since
the formation of PRP in 1979 the party still remains a Household name in Kano,
and he has no fears.
Tanko Yakasai said, ”Nigerians are today tired of the APC
and PDP and this electoral law has made it difficult for any party to rig
elections so my chances of becoming the next governor of Kano State is as
bright as the sun.
