Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An Islamic scholar in Kano State, Mallam Isa Ibrahim has claimed that the duo of Governor Abba Yusuf and former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso are not interested in the governance of the state but politics.<\/p>\n

The cleric alleged that Governor Yusuf was a \u201cmere errand boy\u201d for Kwankwaso who is bent on asserting vengeance on perceived political enemies at the expense of peace and development in Kano State.<\/p>\n

In a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, Ibrahim was said to told his congregation in Tudun Wada, Kano, that the dangerous politics that Governor Yusuf and his godfather Kwankwaso were playing had brought untold hardship to the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, Kano people were made to watch from the sidelines as other state were celebrating the achievements of their governors in the last one year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf and the power behind the throne, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have chosen playing crass politics over provision of good governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the huge monthly allocation the current administration receives from the federal government, there is nothing on ground to show for it.<\/p>\n

*Even the N5 billion palliative released to each state by the federal government to cushion the impact of the removal of the petrol subsidy is not felt by Kano people.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven after one year in office, Governor Yusuf is still blaming the past administration for his failures, whereas, he is the one who has failed to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe poor standard of education, health care services, and infrastructural decay in Kano are pointers to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruth must be told, Governor Yusuf and his godfather Kwankwaso are not interested in the governance of Kano State but politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight from the inception of his administration, the governor has always demonstrated that,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

He further alleged that, \u201cimmediately after assuming office, without looking at government records, he went ahead with the demolition of shops, businesses and people\u2019s homes simply because most of the properties were developed during the administration of his predecessor, Ganduje.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter failing in his bid to push the blame for his poor performance to his predecessor with baseless corruption allegations, Governor Yusuf has now resolved to stirring Emirship crisis in the state to distract citizens from his monumental failures as Governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the popular sayings of Kano people right now is that Governor Yusuf is an errand boy to Kwankwaso.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor himself has proved that by appointing godfather\u2019s children into his administration and taking directives from the former Governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Yusuf and Kwankwaso have made life a living hell for Kano people. Should Kano people be made to suffer because Kwankwaso lost the 2023 presidential election to President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu?<\/p>\n

\u201cIs Kwankwaso\u2019s political ambition worth the sufferings of millions of Kano citizens? Is governance all about political vendetta or provision of basic social amenities?<\/p>\n

\u201cKano people have suffered enough in the hands of Governor Yusuf and his godfather Kwankwaso.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven their party, the New Nigeria People\u2019s Party, NNPP, has passed a vote of no confidence on Governor Yusuf.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Yusuf should retrace his steps and do the needful.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernance should be the number one priority or agenda on his table as far as Kano state is concerned. He should also remember that no government lasts forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
