Kwakwanso
Governor Rabi’u Musa Kwakwanso of
Kano State is afraid that if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) crises
continues only God knows what will happen in 2015.
He belives that lack of “listening ears”
and other undemocratic activities by the party’s leadership are some of
its major problems.
Kwakwanso , while receiving the
Chairman, Senate Committee on MDGs and leader of the joint committee of
the National Assembly on MDGs to Kano, Senator Ali Muhammad Ndume, at
the Government House in Kano yesterday, said what happened last week,
when the police asked five of the G-7 governors to disperse from a
meeting in Abuja was unconstitutional.
Narrating how the meeting of five
governors and senators was disrupted, in his sitting room at the Kano
Governor’s Lodge, Aminu Kano House, Asokoro, Abuja, the governor said
while the meeting was in progress, a DPO suddenly appeared, asking the
participants to disperse, on orders from above.
“We were discussing in my sitting room
when the DPO came in and asked us to disband. Such has never happened
during military era.”
He said their meeting was to prepare for
an unscheduled invitation from the Presidency. “We were discussing how
to approach Mr. President and come up with a stand when invited, but
this meeting was disrupted by a DPO. We didn’t offend anybody, but like
criminals, a DPO was sent to disrupt our meeting,” Kwakwanso said.
He called on the party’s leadership to
be just and fair, adding: “What is happening in PDP now will not augur
well for either of the two conflicting camps within the party.”
Turning to MDGs projects and other
developmental activities since he became governor, over two years ago,
Kwankwaso pointed out that the government’s achievements in terms of
infrastructure and social services are numerous, tangible and
far-reaching.
He said his administration would
continue to work with all stakeholders towards ensuring that Kano
benefits from MDGs projects, which, according to him, will be well
executed.
Earlier, Sen. Ndume had told the
governor: “From what we have seen after going round, we are tempted to
ask you, Your Excellency (Governor Kwakwanso ), where are you getting
the money to execute all the projects we saw?” He, therefore, praised
Kwankwaso for his commitment to service delivery.
According to him, the committee will soon encourage the United Nations
to come and see the counterpart projects
being executed by the state Government, with a view to encouraging the
government to do more and to explore areas of support.
