Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso of Kano
State said yesterday that members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in the state are afraid of campaigning for the party’s presidential
candidate in next month’s election, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, because in
their view, he has failed Nigerians.
Governor Kwankwaso told APC stakeholders
from Dawakin Tofa Local Government area of the state at Government
House, Kano, that President Jonathan’s candidacy is not marketable
to voters unlike his APC counterpart, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
The stakeholders were on a thank-you
visit to the governor for endorsing his deputy, Dr. Abdullahi Umar
Ganduje, as the party’s governorship candidate.
Kwankwaso attested to his deputy’s
competence and stressed that only competent and faithful party members
would be rewarded with patronage.
He, therefore, stated that the choice of
Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as the state APC governorship candidate was
purely based on merit and loyalty to the party and the Kwankwasiyya
Movement.
Gov. Kwankwaso asserted that no one
approached him to favour Dr. Ganduje or his running mate, Prof. Hafiz,
noting that members are expected to be hardworking and loyal to qualify
them for any political post.
The governor told the visitors that the
APC gubernatorial candidate currently heads 90 per cent of government
committees, adding that there is no project done without his input,
which means if he eventually becomes the governor, he would continue
with the Kwankwasiyya vision.
Responding, Ganduje pledged his continued commitment to people oriented policies and programmes.
