The recent call on “Abba Tsaya Da Kafarka” in English meaning ‘Abba stand on own your feet’ in Kano State is stirring up trouble, reminiscent of the serious issues that arose from Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje separation from Dr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso. Abba should beware of political gamers creating problems in his leadership journey. At the beginning of your first tenure, Abba can’t afford to stand alone without fully understanding Kano leadership, politics, and dynamics, even Ganduje doesn’t attempt Stand on his own feet at the early of his journey as Governor of Kano.
Those pushing and fueling you separate from Kwankwaso aren’t genuine and good supporters rather, they’re trying to create another toxic situations that can’t provide better outcomes to Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf and the people of Kano State. How can a true comrades ask for separation of Kwankwaso and Abba ? To me , a patriotic comrades should be the ones to criticizes Abba for unfulfilled campaign promises and provide advises to the governor .What are the genuine reasons behind and the benefits of Abba separate from Kwankwaso?
The silence from stakeholders and Community organizations on the issue of the “Abba stand on your own feet” movement in Kano State is very concerning , especially considering the history of conflicts between the two former Governors, Kwankwaso and Ganduje, If we would recalled at the beginning of their conflict seemed minor, but it has now escalated into a complex and persistent problem affecting the state negatively ,and it even affected Kano Emirates .
My great concerns the situation is continuously becoming a serious and complicated issues that is hampering development of Kano. What did you think would happened in Kano , if we have set different political groups with similar political ideologies like Kwankwaso, Abba and Ganduje. Undoubtedly, it Will potentially pave a way in recreating the divisive dynamics and conflicts.
As a concern citizen of Kano State, an not affiliated with any political party, I feel compelled to bring to the governor attention to matter and urgent need to avoid taken decisions that could destabilize the peace of our state.
The recent ongoing street and social media calls for Governor Abba Yusuf to distance himself from his Boss, the allies and supporters lack clear and genuine reasons and I can referred to them as factionist, that are creating chaos and unnecessary noise . The fact remains stable and unchanged that Governor Abba Yusuf has been leading Kano State independently since his inauguration on May 29 as Elected governor of Kano state at Sani Abacha Stadium .What is essence of so called Abba Stand on your own feet ?
As matter of urgency, it’s imperative kanawa’s to Stand and wake up to call for peace among Kano political figures not perpetual political conflict, which yields no positive outcomes for our beloved Kano state.
Let’s gather and call for peace and unity, prioritizing Kano well-being over personal interests. We ,the people of Kano state have witnessed how the rivalry between Kwankwaso and Ganduje, fueled by Yan zuga brought about negative consequences in Kano and posed of the serious problem treating the peace and harmony of Kano emirate . We’re not ready to experience such political rivalry that can destroys unity, and fosters critical controversy and tension.
Unfortunately, Rather than learning lesson from the past conflict of Kwankwaso and Ganduje, some individuals claiming to be comrades and patriotic to Kano seem satisfied with the status quo and neglecting the consequences of these matters can cause to the peace of Kano.
Although conflict in a democratic system of government is unavoidable, but ,we must consider whether the rift between Ganduje and Kwankwaso has provided positive impact and outcomes to the people in Kano state. If the answer is no, then why are we remaining silent and allowing it to recur between Abba and Kwankwaso?I still repeat it , the silence of Abba and other stakeholders on the pressing issues of ‘Abba Stand on your own feet ” in Kano State is indeed concerning issues require Abba to tackle it.
As Executive Governor of Kano State, it is imperative that you address these concerns promptly to prevent escalation ,this is because People of Kano Deserve Peaceful atmosphere under your tenure.Whether you are interested in accepting thier so called “Abba Stand on your own feet ” in your leadership or not, remember that the people have already placed you in a position of responsibility by voting for you.
However, succumbing to demands to abandon your principal is not a solution, it is an attempt to undermine your leadership journey.As a concerned citizen of Kano State, I would like to respectfully bring to the attention of His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, on this critical issues with uptmost care ,Before taking your part, I humbly advise the Governor to consider this :
SECURITY : Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf,should be reminded on the alarming reports of violence between supporters of Kwankwaso and Ganduje in Kano on January 14, 2018, resulting in numerous injuries and loss of life, raise serious concerns about security in Kano .
Such incidents are unacceptable and there is need for urgent attention to prevent further escalation. How can we fold our hand and be silent about such issues ? The clashes between the political figures supporters in Kano are very disturbing trend that demands immediate action from authorities and stakeholders in kano.
The reports from Premium Times, The Guardian, and The Pulse in 2018 are a stark reminder of the risks to human life and the overall security situation. Abba kabir shouldn’t forget that distance him from his Boss may result in such act to recur in our State .
Although Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has called for dialogue among party supporters and leaders, it is imperative that he seeks intervention from National Party Leaders if he is genuinely interested in resolving the issues of “Abba standing on your own feet “As Executive Governor of Kano I’m confident that tackling and providing solutions to the ongoing conflicts is within your control , is either to determine whether the party will continue to face turmoil or find peace.
Remember! He who betrays his leader will be betrayed by his own followers.” (Zulu).
