Former Kano state governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has appealed to the 14 lawmakers on the platform of his party in the State parliament to cooperate with the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuff.
Ganduje gave the admonition when the APC lawmakers led by Honourable Musa Ali Kachako paid him a courtesy visit on Monday at the party national secretariat.
Checks revealed that the New Nigerian People’s Party, ( NNPP) defeated the APC in the last governorship election in the North West state.
Ganduje urged the lawmakers to strive to subordinate party differences to the larger interest of the average Kano citizen whom he noted deserved good governance.
He said:”I salute you so far for your contribution to the development of democracy and in particular your critical development of Kano state.
The state governor is of a different political party but I want you to know that the whole essence of politics is development of the people. I urge you, irrespective of the different political parties to cooperate with the state governor for the development of Kano state.
“That does not prevent you from maintaining your position as members of the state assembly, it does not stop us from working together to have a government of APC in Kano state. What is most important is for the people of Kano state to get the dividends of democracy.
“I want you to work peacefully with the government in Kano state and I assure you that we will provide you with all encouragements so that we get more and more members of state assembly and also until we get governor of our party.
“I congratulate you on winning your elections and also for helping Mr President to win his election. Mr President has shown so far that he takes Kano state seriously by appointing Deputy senate president from Kano, two ministers designate, even member in charge of appropriation and to top it all the national chairman is from Kano.
So, you can see that Mr President takes Kano seriously. This is because he knows if you are looking for votes during election you can come to Kano.
“So, thanks for coming. ”
Earlier in his remarks, leader of the delegation, Honourable Kachako said they were impressed with the emergence of former Kano state governor as APC national chairman and expressed confidence that he would use his managerial acumen to build a party with sense of belonging for all.
