hehehehe.......The Kano State
Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje has said Kano would not have risen to
become a commercial nerve centre to reckon with without the presence of
the Igbo and other ethnic nationalities.
hehe.........He also blamed the elite for the ongoing agitations by some sections of the country to secede. Ganduje made the comments when the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, visited him over the death of Danmasanin Kano, Alhaji Maitama Sule.
On the elite, he said, “Sometimes, you can have knowledge without wisdom; that is the basis of what is happening to our present elite. That is why we have these ethnic agitations. It has no wisdom.
Your coming to Kano to console us tells a lot across the divide. It speaks much about the national integration we are trying to achieve.” He said that knowledge without wisdom was the cause of the present agitation, stressing that most Nigerians involved in the agitation had knowledge but lacked wisdom.
Ganduje said, “It pains us that some people are calling for separation. When the ejection order or migration order was given, we in Kano said no; that nobody was going anywhere.
Here in Kano, we discussed with our youths and we discussed with the people and we discussed with those, who are being referred to as non-indigenes. We have abolished that boundary in Kano as everybody residing in Kano is an indigene of Kano State.
You can only say that you are an indigene of Kano with primordial claims elsewhere. But as far as we are concerned, you and your children are indigenes of the state.” He said Kano’s accommodating nature was historical.
