A Chieftain of All Progressive Congress (APC), Illiyasu Musa Kwankwaso, on Friday, dismissed claims by the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) that President Bola Tinubu will record massive rejection in the north, in 2027.
Illiyasu said the ACF has no political values or influence to stop President Bola Tinubu from winning massive northern votes in 2027.
Illiyasu who is the Executive Director, Finance, Hadejia Jama’are River Basin, said this while responding to attacks on the National Chairman of APC, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The ED of Hadejia Jama’are River Basin said, “North should wait till 2031 to reclaim power”, insisting that, “ACF lacks political values to talk about North.”
However, Kwankwaso, who was a former three time Kano state commissioner for Rural and community development reminded ACF, “that most of you who are in this Forum were in power for decades but what did you do to the North that you are now defending, nothing, rather you only served your personal selves, nothing more.”
While picking on individuals members of the ACF, criticised Solomon Dalung who he said is in the forefront of attacking Tinubu and his government, for being “silent after grabbing power in the government of Buhari despite your critical position of misgovernment.”
Aside from that he alleged that, “people like Solomon Dalung, Najaatu Muhammad, former Kano state governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and a host of others have nothing to tell the North because they cannot show what they did to the region.”
Accordinng to Illiyasu Tinubu`s performance for the Northern region in just a few months of his administration surpased so many others who have nothing to show.
He explained “Ganduje is right, therefore, the North should wait till 2031 to start talking about power because right now one can clearly see huge contributions to the development of the region.”
He disclosed that the Northwest Development Commission spareheaded by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin which the President has since assented to, the over N600 billion for the Northwest Commission and the just approved N150 billion for the Construction of Metro rail lines in the city of Kano has been spareheaded by the Chairman House of Representatives Appropriation Committee, Abubakar Kabir Abubakar Bichi, among other projects are there for all for to see.
“Today the entire Northern Nigeria has become a project site with so many projects going on and these are done by the full support of President Tinubu, and more are coming by the time he reclaims power in 2027.
He further commended the APC National Chairman for his sound party leadership, adding that it has made hundreds of other party top shots decamping to APC.
“We have seen, today apart from winning so many States in the runoff elections, Ganduje is on a daily basis receiving National Assembly Members of Senators, House of Representatives and other top echelon of other Party Members.”
He said in Kano, the Deputy President of the Senate Senator Barau Jibrin has completely shaken down the foundation of NNPP with former Commissioners and other top members being received on a daily basis by the DSP.
“These and many other strong points clearly show that it is just a matter of time for President Tinubu to make it back to power in 2027, and this has strongly unsettled Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiyya supporters who today have no party to rely upon”.
