The gubernatorial flag bearer of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), in Kano, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf has said that loyalty and continuity in the fight against graft would be one of his major cardinal thrusts if voted to power as the executive governor of Kano State.
Addressing tens of thousands of party supporters who converged on Sani Abacha Youth Centre in Kano at the affirmation of his candidacy Monday, Yusuf stated that as an off-shoot of the immediate past administration of Engr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso would strive to forge ahead with the giant strides of his boss in myriad spheres of human endeavour adding that his loyalty to Kwankwaso and Kwankwasiyya ideology would remain unshakeable throughout the tenure of his leadership.
In a press statement made available to newsmen by his Spokesman, Malam Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa the NNPP gubernatorial flag bearer posited that his administration was determined to reposition the State on its rightful stage through people-oriented and inclusive government, where every stakeholder would be engaged in the critical policy formulation and implementation expressing optimism that the NNPP has gathered momentum not only in Kano but in Nigeria as a whole.
He said” I have no iota of doubt that when voted to power come the year 2023, In Shaa Allah, the party would execute meaningful projects throughout the country. here in Kano, we are determined to run the State through good governance with utmost attention given to accountability, transparency and responsiveness”.
“If given the mandate, we shall by the grace of God accord priority to education at all levels, Health care services, Agricultural transformation, Infrastructure Development, Security and job creation through employment and empowerment, Civil Service reform and the restoration of Local Government Service” he stressed.
“Distinguished Delegates, Fellow Kanawas, Ladies and Gentlemen, we will work tirelessly to restore the lost glory of Kano and dignify once again its image in the eyes of the world which has been rubbished by self-centred Government in the last seven years” he remarked.
“Our loyalty and continuity shall be on the fight against corruption not on stocking dollars it shall be on continuity and development projects not on land grabbing of public schools, Hospitals, Grave yards, Badala etc. Our continuity shall also be on straightening the Civil Service through training, promotion, recruitment and timely payment of pension and salaries” he retorted.
“It shall also be continuity with the protection of lives and properties of all citizens and residents within the State not on financing thuggery and drug abuse. above all, it shall be continuity with the entrenchment of true democratic values and not truncating democracy through the illegality of inconclusiveness” he concluded.
