Kwankwaso Should Be Endorsed For Senate President’
Kano North senatorial district, senator-elect, Barau Jibril has
appealed to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next
Senate to endorse Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for any position that is
meant for the North-west zone in the upper house.
Alhaji Barau Jibrin, a former House Committee Chairman on Appropriation (1999-2003) and senator-elect, Kano North senatorial district, remarked that Dr. Kwankwaso’s political profile is impressive and enough to be trusted with a huge responsibility.
He said, “He (Kwankwaso) was a former Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives and two time governor of the most populous state in Nigeria. It is noteworthy that he came second in the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which took place in Lagos late last year.”
“After he was defeated, he exhibited the spirit of sportsmanship by coming out fully to help the party win the presidential elections. I tell you confidently that he did all that was within his powers to ensure that his party came to victory. He used all the means that were available to him to make sure that the APC emerged victorious in the state, in the Northwest region and in Nigeria as a whole.”
“The important thing to note in giving him this special recognition is that he , Dr. Kwankwaso, led his state to give his party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari the highest number of votes among the states of the Federation”
“We must not also forget that the Senator- elect championed the equivalent of a revolution in the state when he ensured that All Progressive Congress (APC) won all the 24 seats of the Federal House of Representatives and all the three senatorial seats available, leaving the opposition party with zero trophy”
“So, we feel that by virtue of all what he did and the fact he is an accomplished legislator and in order to further encourage the people of Kano State to continue to support the All Progressive Congress (APC), we feel it will be good to allow him occupy any of the position meant for the region”
“And we do hope that by our calculation, the Majority Leader of the Senate would be zoned to the North- west and if that be the case, we have no other choice of leadership than Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso”
“We have started work in earnest with some Senators elect to actualize this objective. The main idea is to continue to steam the party in this part of the country, to show appreciation to the people of Kano for what they did by massively voting for APC during the presidential election”
Gentlemen, we are not in this for the sake of appreciation alone. This man is an accomplished person. He was a member of the Constitutional Conference during the Abacha era, he was a legislator par excellence as a deputy Speaker and he was a diplomat, appointed to Dafur and endowed with the mastery of ways of inter -group relationship”
“I and other Senators -elect have started working to ensure he emerges the Majority Leader- if the position is zoned to the North West. But if that position is not zoned to the sub- region, we are still determined to ensure that he is allowed to occupy any other post that is reserved for the region”
