I won’t take lead role in Abba Gida-Gida’s gov’t – Kwankwaso opens up

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the February 25 election, Dr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has said he will not take lead role in the incoming government of the Kano State Governor-elect, Abba Kabir Yusuf popularly known as Abba Gida-Gida.

The Informant247 observes that Kwankwaso is the national leader of the party and a political godfather to the newly elected Governor of the state.

The former Governor of the state said he’s ready to advise the newly elected Governor if he asks for it.

There are speculations that Yusuf might not be given the free hand to operate as the governor of the state, and that Kwankwaso would be the decider of the state’s affairs.

While reacting to the speculation on a television session, the former Governor said he would stand against the new government whenever it’s making errors.

He said, “Even if it is your cleaner you appoint as leader, then you shouldn’t interfere. If he asks for your advice you will give it, but if he does not ask, then you should be silent.

“When I was governor, I worked with some people including Abba who helped me achieved the success I got.

“That is why,we sat down and looked at all our people and we chose the one we think if God wills, he will not repeat Ganduje’s nonsense.

“All of us in Kano State are happy that God has brought them out, and we are praying that God will distance them from us. Whoever is ruling Kano, whether it’s a military or whoever, we will not allow him to be disrespectful.

“Therefore, whether it is Abba who rules or whoever, we will tell him anything that is right, and when it is wrong, we will tell him too.

“What I know is that all the wrong things during the outgoing government will be corrected.”
