A former Governor
of Kano State and leader of Kwankwasiyya Movement, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,
has shelved his proposed visit to the state.
Speaking
through the Chairman of the Planning Committee for the visit, Dr. Rabiu
Sulieman Bichi, Kwankwaso said that he had to painfully postpone the scheduled
visit following interventions and wise counsel from some well-meaning
Nigerians. He advised his friends and supporters to await further directives on
his move.
Said
he, “A lot has been said and done in the last couple of days to the extent that
our adversaries have declared war on the day of the Distinguished Senator’s
visit” he recalled.
“This
standoff has attracted the attention of well -meaning Nigerians, home and
abroad, whom have called to give advice that mostly borders on the preservation
of the lives and property of our teeming supporters and admirers,” Bichi
indicated.
The
former Secretary to the State Government explained that,” Senator
Kwankwaso’s visit will never be a reason to deliberately incontinence any
citizen, small or big, let alone spill a drop of blood of any innocent
citizen.”
He
appreciated the unnamed leaders who had taken time to offer their advice, and
had shown concern to their struggle and extended gratitude to their teeming
supporters and admirers who had committed a lot of energy and resources with
the hope of making the visit a successful one.
He
appealed for calm among his supporters and also called on the public to
disregard any provocative statements.
It
could be recalled that the political atmosphere in the state had been charged
in the last few days following the proposed visit as the hostility between the
two factions soured to its climax.
On
Friday, the Nigeria Police advised the former governor to shelve the visit to
the state failure of which the law would take it cause.
Unconfirmed
sources indicated that both leaders were summoned to the Presidency. Kano State
Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje hurriedly departed the state for Abuja in
what many said was to honour the summon.
