A Presidential aspirant under the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has said
that any person aspiring to rule Nigeria must have a track record of
accommodating all, irrespective of religious or ethnic affiliation.
Kwankwaso made this statement on
Thursday in Jos, the Plateau State capital while addressing delegates preparatory
to the party premises that will produce candidates who will fly the party’s
flag during the 2019 general elections.
The former Governor of Kano State
stated that he was able to transformed Kano because he brought qualified
people on board irrespective of ethnic or religious background. He said that during
his tenure, education was free while primary school pupils were fed and also
given uniforms at least twice a year by the Kano State government. He said that
the payment of teachers and other civil servants salary was prompt and effected on
or before 25th of every month. Kwankwaso further stated that about
twenty one thousand teachers were trained up to NCE level while super
structures and educational institutions were also built during his tenure.
The aspirant said that attention
was also given to agriculture and health sectors further stressing that all these were achieved
without borrowing from within or outside the country but from the subvention
and internal generated revenue (IGR). Kwankwaso said that Nigeria needs such a
detribalized and prudent manager to lead the country.
He decried the way and manner the
current government has neglected its primary responsibility thereby placing the
citizens at the receiving end.
Responding, Hon. D.T. Sango, the
Plateau State Chairman of the PDP described Kwankwaso as a friend of Plateau
people. Sango said that when a motion for the establishment of North-East
Development Commission (for the purpose of rehabilitation) owing to ravage
caused by the Boko Haram insurgency, Rabiu Kwankwaso insisted Kano and Plateau
States were included.
The Chairman further stressed that
nothing can separate Kano and Plateau States because of the strong relationship
that was entrenched by late Solomon Lar and late Abubakar Rimi.
He urged the delegates to vote a
person that knows Nigeria very well during the party primaries.
