‘Buhari is a Kwankwasiy­ya member’

- From Nazifi Dawud Khalid, Kano

Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has said that the President-elect retired General Muhammadu Buhari is a member of his Kwankwassi­yya movement because he believed in good governance and improving the general welfare of the society.

Kwankwaso, who said this yesterday during an interactiv­e session with newsmen was responding to a question on whether his successor would sustain the movement since he is now going to the senate.

“Well I believe that leaders, the governor, deputy governor, members of the assembly, state and national, senators, everybody who are elected or not elected for whatever reason have seen the benefit of Kwankwassi­ya,” he said.

He added: “So Kwankwassi­ya as an ideology is good for everybody especially those who are with us, especially those who are objective. So it is in our collective interest here, in Abuja and elsewhere. Don’t forget Kwankwassi­ya is not only here in Kano, it’s not only in Abuja, it is there in every state of the federation.

“Anybody who is looking for change is already a member of Kwankwassi­ya, anybody who wants peace is a member of Kwankwassi­ya and anybody who wants to fight corruption is a member of Kwankwassi­ya, people who are working so hard to ensure our young men and women in this country get jobs are members of Kwankwassi­ya.

“So this ideology I believe is a good thing for all of us and automatica­lly without even asking, even Buhari himself is a member of Kwankwassi­ya because he believes in what we do.”
