‘Cooporate With Abba Yusuf’ – Ganduje To Kano APC Lawmakers

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has appealed to APC lawmakers in the Kano House of Assembly to cooperate with the state governor, Abba Yusuf.

Ganduje on Monday told the lawmakers that their cooperation is needed despite the incumbent governor being from another party.

The former Kano State governor said the whole essence of politics is development; therefore, they should support the governor to provide dividends of democracy to the people of Kano, Naija News reports.

Ganduje made this appeal when he received 14 members of the Kano State House of Assembly who paid him a courtesy visit at the party secretariat on Monday in Abuja.

He said: “When I see most of you, I see myself because some of you were together 25 years ago. Some of you won elections and were assembly members and lost elections and returned after seven years. You have been in a cycle with me. So, I can call some of you veterans of democracy. I was not surprised when I learned you are here to see me on a congratulatory visit.

“The state governor is of a different political party, but I want you to know that the whole essence of politics is the development of the people. I urge you, irrespective of the different political parties, to cooperate with the state governor for the development of Kano State.

“That does not prevent you from maintaining your position as members of the State Assembly. It does not stop us from working together to have an APC government in Kano State. What is most important is for the people of Kano State to get the dividends of democracy.

“I want you to work peacefully with the government in Kano state, and I assure you that we will provide you with all encouragement so that we get more and more members of the State Assembly and also until we get a governor of our party.”

Recall that the APC lost Kano governorship election to the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general election.
