Frontline APC stakeholder,Dr.Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso,says Wednesday’s attendance of the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council by
members of different political parties confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been accepted by all Nigerians, irrespective of party affiliations.
Iliyasu Kwankwaso,who is a member of the Presidential Campaign Council, made the remarks in an interview with journalists in Kano on Thursday.
The APC bigwig, who is also the Director Finance Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority(HJRBDA),said the attendance of the inauguration by members of APGA, Labour Party and many other political parties indicated that they firmly stand with Tinubu’s continuity in office.
He also recalled the remarks of those he described as men of integrity such as Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, whom had said it all that President Tinubu’s economic blueprint is a masterpiece that only economic experts and those whom “are awake to global economic realities will appreciate.”
“It has never happened in the Nigerian political history that one man would attract such a collection of nearly all opposition parties and opposition politicians, those whom have never agreed to sit together, but because of Tinubu they accepted to come onboard and pursue his common goal together.
“The issues at stake today are not about Tinubu’s re-election alone but the prosperity of Nigeria, which despite the difficulties, President Tinubu accepted to pursue and ensure its total attainment.
“To me, the inauguration of the Campaign Council was just like a celebration of the re-election of President Tinubu back to office, because what else remains, the same Nigerians that will campaign for him, have collectively come forward themselves in unison for one Person(Tinubu),” he said.
Illiyasu Kwankwaso assured that what happened at the national level will be replicated in Kano and other states of the federation, adding that the open recognition of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf by the President and his symbolic Cap at the event signalled a clear victory for the Abba Kabir Yusuf/Murtala Sule Garo ticket.
“Also,one will agree with me that Governor Yusuf, Senator Barau Jibrin, House of Representatives Committee Chairman on Appropriation Abubakar Kabir Abubakar Bichi, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Abdulmumini Jibrin Kofa, Senator Kawu Sumaila, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, Honourable Alhassan Rurum, and all other contestants and our Father, former National Chairman of APC, Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, are working in tandem for the success of President Tinubu/Kashim Shettima and Governor Yusuf/Garo second term bids,” he added.
