Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has called upon the Kano State House of Assembly members to collaborate harmoniously with Abba Kabir-Yusuf, the governor from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Mr Ganduje, a former Kano State governor, revealed this during a visit from 14 state assembly members at the APC national headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
He stressed that such cooperation would enhance peace and progress within the state.
He stated, “The state governor is of a different political party but I want you to know that the whole essence of politics is the development of the people.
“I urge you irrespective of the different political parties to cooperate with the state governor for the development of Kano State.
“That does not prevent you from maintaining your position as members of the state assembly, it does not stop us from working together to have a government of APC in Kano State. What is most important is for the people of Kano State to get the dividends of democracy.
“I want you to work peacefully with the government in Kano State and I assure you that we will provide you with all encouragements so that we get more and more members of the state assembly and also until we get a governor of our party.
“I congratulate you on winning your elections and also for helping Mr President to win his election.
“Mr President has shown so far that he takes Kano State seriously by appointing a deputy senate president from Kano, two ministers designate, even a member in charge of appropriation and to top it all the national chairman is from Kano.
“So, you can see that Mr President takes Kano seriously. This is because he knows if you are looking for votes during the election you can come to Kano.”
