Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has faulted his
Nasarawa State counterpart, Umaru Muktar Almakura’s type of
politics, saying it was responsible for his predicament.
According to Kwankwaso, Almakura, currently facing impeachment
launched by Nasarawa lawmakers, is too soft to be governor under
President Goodluck Jonathan.
Kwankwaso told journalists in his office, yesterday, that “you cannot
be a gentleman and hope to survive as governor under the present
dispensation”.
He added, “A gentleman cannot be a good governor, you need to
have so many faces because the game is rough and can’t
accommodate a gentleman”.
The Kano governor said Almakura rebuffed intervention and
expertise to assist him navigate troubled waters, adding: “He is too
soft for my liking.
“On our volition, we suggested to him to allow us mobilise our foot
soldiers. He refused. We also appealed to him to allow us come in
physically. He refused; always distancing himself from such
expertise that would assist him”.
The APC presidential hopeful lamented how Adamawa State fell like
a pack of cards under impeached Governor Nyako, saying the gale
of impeachment across APC controlled states was being instigated
by the Presidency.
Kwankwaso opined that “the whole madness is a wicked
calculations ahead of 2015”, pointing out: “It is not going to assist
the PDP Federal Government retain power. We have had enough of
this impunity, ruthlessness and we are closing ranks to chase them
out of power by 2015; it would be too late for them to hoodwink
anyone again”.
The Kano governor declared that President Jonathan was qualified
for impeachment.

Footsoldiers?

Imagine. Is this true at all?

Nigeria's political climate is not for the faint - hearted. One should be ready to fight dirty or get booted. Almakura will be history before he knows what hit him.

Foot soldiers = Boko Boys, please don't allow this people to destroy your state, it's us better you leave honorably than spilling blood, we can see what the foot soldiers are doing in his own Kano state

Al-makurah knows what he is doing
These people should let him play the type of political game he knows how to play.
Foot soldiers to do what,this shows that some people are not suppose to lead.
Foot soldiers in a democratic system and democratic process.

...

Did he say Foot soldier? Hmm. Boko haram comes to mind.

I hope its not the so called foot soldiers that tried to murder one of the lawmakers...... Naija politics»» getting dirtier day by day

This political warfare.

smartchoice: Footsoldiers?

Or boko millitants ?

When the 5 PDP governors defected it was
gentlemanly but as soon as the state Houses
of Assembly of some APC states started
asking some of their governors to account for
their stewardship to their people it became
FGN impunity? What a brain wave by a man
who wants to rule this country? This is not
about footsoldiers and blood thirsty thugs but
accountability to your own state Houses of
Assembly, charity begins at home. Show us
how good you are and the nation will respect
you.

Piroo: Foot soldiers = Boko Boys, please don't allow this people to destroy your state, it's us better you leave honorably than spilling blood, we can see what the foot soldiers are doing in his own Kano state

kano state presently is a mess. A theater of bomb blast. probably a product of his foot soldiers.

Who are the foot soldiers? Mathematically;
£APC = £Boko harams

Ahoy to you

Kwankwaso, be ready to defend your statement in distance future.

Kwankwaso by the use of these words"use their foot-soldiers" has officially put himself on the terrorist/watch list.

Trully, Jonathan's political career needs to be brutally hit where it hurts. He thinks he has the monopoly of playing dirty poitics because he has the nation's resources at his disposal.

And some small small animals on this forum will still tell us that APC are not key sponsor of Boko Haram. Foot soldiers indeed

Who ever liked your comment need a brain surgery. So the PDP states can't account to their Assemblies members? FYI, Al Makuri is not one of the defected Governors.

Brainless Muppet how can BK invasion help in stopping the Governor's impeachment? Is Adamawa State not on SOE?

Please use your brain or keep enjoying this dry air.

Al makura is probably a smarter man than Kwankwaso; he doesn't want the type of help they gave to Nyako!

You are a very foolish person. Is it today you have heard the term foot soldiers? In between how will boko haram stop the impeachment process. Some of you actually think with you anus not your grey matter. What a pity.

Where in the post was boko haram mentioned?
You are apparently one of the willfully ignorant trolls that consider and use boko haram and violence as the only agent of political action and change.

In a sane country, that man should be called out to explain what foot soldier r to the people.
In a saner environment, that comment alone will haul him to d dogs.
But...............
Then again,in no distance time I'm positive this statement will be his undoing.
These guys are gradually digging their own graves.
C how they r making everything very easy for mr president.
Be careful, ur words may come back to haunt u.

Plus10: how would the foot soldeir of kwakwanso also help al-Makura from being impeached?
