Governor Rabi’u
Kwankwaso of Kano
state says Nigeria is
drifting towards
calamity because the
serving President
lacks the competence
and guts to manage
the affairs of the
country
appropriately.
The governor, who
stated this during a
meeting with the
leadership of
Northern Elders Forum at the Government House in
Kano, on Tuesday night, said despite advice and
observations from respected leaders and leaders
from within and outside the country on how to put
Nigeria on the right track, the presidency has
insensitive.
“When we met with the president, as Northern
Governors, he told us that the former US Secretary
of State, Lady Clinton, told him that as President he
has to look at the issue of the North very critically.
She noted that there was an imbalance in terms of
patronage, appointments and sharing of resources.
“He assured that he was looking at those
comments and that was why he was delaying
appointments into boards and so on. Since that
meeting, we have not seen anything or changes so
it is my conclusion that the President lacks the
capacity and courage to do the right thing”, the
governor stated.
He lamented that the federal budget is heavily
tilted in favour of one section of the country,
pointing out that a situation where one section of
the country is suffering from illiteracy,
underdevelopment and misery while the other
section has more than enough is not good for
national unity.
The governor maintained that a situation whereby
a section of the country is given priority over other
areas is not in the best interest of all, pointing out
that it is high time for the Federal Government to
be sensitive to what is being felt by the
international community.
“We have had enough crises in this country and it
is not right to plant seeds for crisis in the future.
Look at the North East that was allocated N2 billion
in the current budget. N2 billion is what Mr.
President allocated to non-APC states for
supporting him, while N111 billion was allocated to
the South East and South-South. This is not close to
fairness”, the governor argued.
Stressing that his position on current national
issues is not premised on religion, ethnicity or
sectionalism but stems from the desire to see that
every Nigerian, irrespective where he comes from
is treated without discrimination, Kwankwaso
asserted that it is time for members of the National
Assembly to come out and oppose injustice that is
perpetrated by the government.
The governor noted that what is happening in the
country in terms of poverty, insecurity and
joblessness in the North today should not be
happening in civilized societies, appealing to the
Federal Government to listen to the voices of
reason so as to move the country in the right
direction.
Turning to the Northern Elders, Forum, Governor
Kwankwaso said he and its members are like minds
that are not sleeping comfortably because things
are not moving well in the country. He pledged to
continue to work with all people of good conscience
to bring about good governance in Nigeria.
Earlier, in their separate remarks, the chairman of
the forum, Alhaji Yusuf Maitama Sule, Danmasanin
Kano and his deputy, Wanteregh Paul Unongo
explained that they are not satisfied with current
political developments in the country, especially as
they affect the North.
They said the visit to Kwankwaso was to identify
with his achievements and sterling leadership
qualities as well as to look at several issues that
will bring about responsible governance, unity and
even development of the country

U 4GOT THE TWO MOST OUTSTANDING REASONS.
1. HE IS A SOUTHERN MINORITY AND NOT A BORN-TO-RULE NORTHERNER.
2. HE IS A CHRISTIAN AND NOT A MUSLIM.

Mr Kwankwaso or whatever your name is.
Listen very carefully, the North has ruled Nigeria for over 30 Years since after independence, ordinarily, we expect your leaders to pay more attention to the North when they were in power.
However they didn't, they kept looting, look at IBB, Abacha, Abubakar, Gowon etc.
Why didn't y'all act like this when they were in power?
And just so you know, incase you have no idea.
The SS feeds the entire nation, their lands are exploited, their farms and crops are destroyed, their water, contaminated. The SS are neglected, they undergo poverty, hardship, lack of education, infrastructural development, basic amenities, good hospitals and schools, their hardship lasted for long until President Yar'adua saved them, GEJ is continuing with Yar'adua's legacies.
SE have been neglected since after the war.
Therefore, SS and SE need to have a sense of belonging and equality and their allocation put together is okay.
Because they've been neglected for too long already.
And if GEJ should come down, the neglection would possibly continue.
We have to make use of this opportunity for it comes but once!

Mallam quanquasa, its not in your place to tell who has the capacity. We can see his works and delivery already.
Quit spitting, try and get your APC presidential ticket and test your popularity with him.

GEJ till 2027.
