Governor
Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso of Kano state has advised President Goodluck
Jonathan to deploy as much troops he sends to states during conduct of
gubernatorial polls to the Sambisa forest.
Speaking at the
weekend, he said “Politics should not be seen as enmity, politics should
not be seen as something that you have to destroy this or that. The
very forces that they used in Ekiti, they used in Adamawa, which they
are now using in Nasarawa, I am sure they want to try it again in Osun.
These are the forces that they should have been using in the
North-eastern states.
“On Ekiti election day, the whole state was
taken over and dominated. I don’t think Ekiti is as big as Sambisa
Forest, you go and dominate there, why are you dominating an innocent
state? And what they don’t know is that the party taking seats by force
from other states does not give them automatic success in 2015. In this
state in 2011, I had no one counselor, I had no one local government
chairman, I had no commissioner, I had no governor, even our friends who
were suppose to help us from Abuja, didn’t believe in us, but we won
election.
“So,
if you take Ekiti, you go and take Nasarawa, you are forcing everybody
does not guarantee victory. And there was an advertisement on NTA which
made me very angry. It showed the Commander-In-Chief smiling by this
their transformation agenda ambassadors. These are faceless
organisations with backing of the headquarters in the Villa. They are
faceless, who are they? Tell me, the Commander-In-Chief?
He
questioned the credibility and independence of the military. “I use to
know the credibility of the Nigerian military. I use to know how much
they were respected even outside the country but now, where is their
respect?
Kwankwaso also expressed confidence that no impeachment
trick sponsored by the presidency and/or the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) will succeed in Kano.
His words: “They have been trying and
that you are aware of. They came here and collected all the principal
officers and other members of the state House of Assembly; not because
they stole anything, but because they didn’t want us to pass the budget.
The EFCC came dead in the night and started collecting them like
criminals, they took them to Abuja; and we followed them, there was just
no question, nothing. At the end of the day, I don’t know what
happened, they granted us bail and the case is still in court.
“It
is not that they stole money. I have never seen this kind of thing
anywhere, where authorities come to the state, to collect people in the
night, I am talking about elected state legislators.
“Just
recently, we have the same case, after we joined the APC, they came with
one ‘hawk’. I think he is from Kebbi, he was calling them to his house
you know Kano is a great state, we want people to come and settle in
Kano, but many of them are trying to become enemies but we don’t mind
because Kano is so attractive.
Wondering the motive of the person
he referred to as a ‘hawk’. The governor said: “If you are from Kebbi,
why can’t you go there and talk about Kebbi? Why don’t you go there and
start talking about Kebbi? Maybe because Kebbi is so small that you
cannot talk about it. They are here creating all sorts of trouble.”
“They
are meeting in his house discussing all sorts of things; but God so
kind, by the time they started the meeting, they were already
celebrating and they told Abuja that they have gotten the Speaker and
majority of the APC executive. PDP now has the legislature thinking that
because they got the principal officers and gave them money, everybody
will follow.
“By the time I called them, we had meeting on a
Friday which ran into Saturday. And by Sunday, they came from Abuja and
put them in the aircraft, but to their surprise by Monday morning, I
told them to go and declare that instead of 31 members for APC, we were
now having 34! So, they have been trying, but we are politicians here
and we have been in the game.
“Even General Buhari have said what I
want to say now, that I have never seen a situation like this where the
biggest beneficiary of this democracy are the ones destroying it. You
ask me who is happy? I should be one of them, my people should be all
happy, we have performed, we have done so many things that can enable us
to be happy but unfortunately, we are not happy because of what they
are doing.
On the president’s achievement, Kwankwaso said the
president does not have enough achievements to show, yet he is keen on
standing for reelection.
“I am happy Rochas Okorocha is also
advertising his own achievements. Tell me what the Commander-In-Chief is
doing. Things that we have not seen on ground, we are already seeing it
on television, courtesy of technology.
“I hear some people wanted
to do one-million-match in Abuja, I can do 10-million match in Kano.
What is one million? Maybe, somebody advised them and it didn’t take
place; because I had wanted to do 10 million match in Abuja, take over
and dominate everywhere,” he boasted
