The Kwankwasiyya Political Movement in Kano State has vowed to do everything legally possible to stop the incumbent Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, from securing second term in 2019.
State chapter Chairman of the movement, Dr. Inusa Dan Gwani, all hands have been placed on deck to ensure that Ganduje’s misrule is not allowed to return and perpetrate maladministration.
In the same vein, Dr. Inusa dismissed the rumour that former Governor Kwankwaso and the incumbent Ganduje were working hard to reconcile their political differences before 2019 general elections.
Instead, former Governor Kwankwaso’s first Chief of Staff and latter Commissioner for Water Resources said the incumbent governor has gone too far in the betrayed the philosophy of Kwankwasiyya to be pardoned.
According to him, Ganduje has abandoned all projects designed for him to implemented when he became governor, a development the Movement thinks has further underdeveloped the state.
Inusa regretted that after working hard for Ganduje to defeat the then ruling PDP in 2015, Ganduje came up with programmes and polices different from those left behind for him.
Also, he accused Governor Ganduje of abandoning Kwankwaso’s free education programme, foreign scholarship programme, sanitation programme, some projects like the 5 kilometres per local government programme, the mass housing programme, free feeding programme and the girl child education initiative, among others.
Meanwhile, Governor Ganduje in the bid to secure second term is reportedly busy inviting members of the PDP in Kano State to join the APC and has already succeeded in luring former Commissioner of Rural Development, who is kwankwaso’s brother, Alhaji Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso to the APC.
He had since appointed him as Commissioner for Special Duties, all in attempt to assist him convince the supporters of former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau to vote for him 2019.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has denied endorsing Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, for president in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
In a letter signed by Adebayo Oladeji, the head of media and communications to the CAN President, Samson Ayokunle, the association said media reports about an alleged endorsement of Fayose, attributed to CAN, emanated from a personal opinion of its general secretary, Musa Asake.
Fayose has declared his intention to run on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Several members of Fayose’s PDP, including the party’s national spokesperson, Dayo Adeyeye, have criticised the Ekiti governor’s ambition, saying the party had zoned the position to Northern Nigeria.
Media reports had quoted Asake as describing Fayose as a courageous man fit for the place of president of Nigeria, come 2019.
“Unarguably, you have done what many of our politicians, Christians in particular, do not have the courage to do. This is why I agree with you, hook, line and sinker,” Asake was quoted as saying, in his remarks about Fayose’s presidential ambition. (Premium Times)
