Kano People Won’t Welcome Jonathan – Gov Kwankwaso

Kano State governor Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has declared that Kano people will not be welcoming President Jonathan to the state today as he has done nothing to better their life. Kwankwaso stated this during APC elders’ meeting at Government House, Kano, on Sunday. “I regret for voting President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 presidential election; he has done nothing to move the nation forward,” the governor lamented, adding that since Jonathan assumed office, nothing has been done towards the development of the nation. He also noted that under President Jonathan, corruption, insecurity and embezzlement of the public treasury have become the order of the day. “Only a few people are enjoying in Nigeria at the expense of the generality of the citizenry,” Kwankwaso said, lamenting that despite the presidents manifest inadequacies, the incumbent president is bent on being re-elected in 2015, a mission he termed impossible. He noted that people are still waiting to hear the truth about the missing $20 billion oil revenue, the revelation of which led to the suspension of the CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. “If someone alleges that N20 million is missing in one of the Kano State ministries, first of all, I will investigate the matter and, if find the allegation is true, I must commend the person for job well done and then take the appropriate action on it.” Kwankwaso emphasized. He urged electorate to vote for APC in 2015 in order to form central and state governments, disclosing that APC is now the most powerful party in Africa. Kwankwaso accused PDP for planning to disrupt unity among the party members by deploying money to buy people over, pointing out that already APC has taken measures to tackle the issue. The governor appealed to APC supporters to be very patient as the party has set up the necessary machinery that would ensure victory in the 2015 General Elections, noting that in Kano alone more, than 2.3 million people have registered as card carrying members of party. According to Governor Kwankwaso , those who are calling on INEC not to conduct elections in 2015 in North Eastern Nigeria have lost focus and are aware that their party would not win any election in that region.
