Former
governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has called on the state
government to desist from erasing Kwankwassiya inscriptions on public
structures, saying the exercise was a waste of resources and time.
The ex-governor, who spoke yesterday, said instead of “squandering the state’s scarce resources on a futile exercise, the government should use such funds to revitalize the education sector, which is deteriorating”’.
Kwankwaso, who spoke through an aide, Muhammad Tajuddeen Usman, during
an event organized to empower women, urged his supporters to remain
calm.The ex-governor, who spoke yesterday, said instead of “squandering the state’s scarce resources on a futile exercise, the government should use such funds to revitalize the education sector, which is deteriorating”’.
“The Kwankwassiya movement can never be erased from your minds. This is why I am asking the state government to desist from erasing our symbols on public structures because it is a total waste of resources and time. They should instead channel the funds to reviving education which they have allowed to deteriorate,” he said.
He added that if the government insists on deleting all Kwankwassiya logos in the state, then they should be prepared to establish a whole ministry to carry out the exercise because it is an impossible task.
“You should remain steadfast in your belief in Kwankwaso; they can’t take that away from you. The time will come when your votes will be more than dollars. That is when we will ask you to follow a certain direction to change your destinies,” he said.
On his part, the Chairman of the Kano Project Protection Agency (Kano PRO-PA), Mahmoud Sani, who organized the event said about 75 women were re-empowered with about N800,000 as a reward for utilizing an earlier empowerment benefit given to them four years ago.
