2015 Exposé: Who Is Afraid
of Kwankwaso?
We have verified the allegations of a
full blockade of Kano State
Governor Kwankwaso from all
public venues in Abuja by the
Jonathan-led PDP government. The
Kano State governor who intends to
make his declaration to run for the
Presidency of Nigeria under the APC
opposition party, after making
several attempts to secure these
public avenues, to no avail over the
past days finally resorted to making
this infraction known to the public
in a Press release by his office.
The question is: who is afraid of
Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
and why?
We proceeded to check the
record of Governor
Kwankwaso and the reasons
why the Jonathan-led
Government could allow Atiku
Abubakar and General Buhari
make their declarations, but
utilizes all means to block
Kano state Governor
Kwankwaso’s declaration for
the President’s seat.
I am humbled to say that in
the record of Kwankwaso in
Kano over his three years plus
administration, he has been
different. After speaking with
several ordinary, everyday
Kano people, I was
dumbfounded. ENDS sent a
representative to Kano to
investigate the facts and the
lengthy report of
Kwankwaso’s performance
bewilders and I dare say is
relatively unseen in Africa. |
Check out development photos
and more below:
From new stellar tertiary
institutions of higher learning, many
built as global collaborations yet
unlike Lagos where Governor Raji
Fashola must be appreciated;
Kwankwaso’s Kano maintained
public ownership of all the new
developments. Kwankwaso unlike
what is commonplace in Nigeria is
not gifting Nigeria to the Cabal but
is able to develop and maintain
public assets fully owned by the
State government.
The longest overhead bridge has
been constructed in Kano with the
limited government funds. There are
several overhead bridges
constructed and in construction and
also underground passes.
The city is brightly lit with street
lights and is a wonder to be beheld
at night.
But Governor Kwankwaso known for
the Kwankwaso Amana (trust) of
Kano does not only stop with public
asset development, he also focuses
on the people. Kano, known as the
epicenter of Almajiri has no more
Almajiri or street beggar left on the
streets. The Kwankwaso Kano
government has rehabilitated
millions. Kano currently runs one of
the most professional, large-scale
security guard training institutions
in Nigeria from where thousands of
trained security guards are
graduated yearly and sent for work
all over the Federation. There are
many more training centers
including in farming in which
thousands of roaming youth are
now accorded reliable training to be
employable and able to run their
businesses.
Another amazing project of the
Kwankwaso-led Kano government
is its Amnesty program parallel.
While the Federal Government of
Nigeria overseas an amnesty
program for Niger Delta youth, Kano
Government has single-handedly
run an equivalent program through
which it has sent thousands of
students for courses within Nigeria
and abroad. How does he as an
ordinary Governor finance this?! Is
this what we can really do if our
public officials do not loot 90% of
our wealth? It was reported that
even non indigenes of Kano State
benefit from this program that has
Yoruba, Igbo, Niger Delta and all
other names as candidates being
trained. Kwankwaso has proven
true nationhood. We are impressed.
We were reliably informed that
Governor Kwankwaso maintains a
personal text message compulsory
alert to his phone from all state
departments for all moneys spent.
He monitors and overseas all
department budgets to ensure full
accountability and transparency.
Transparency International’s #1:
When it comes to budgets,
Kwankwaso breaks records. It is no
surprise… actually it is amazing to
recognize that of all his peers,
Governor and Engineer Rabiu Musa
Kwankwaso out-performed the 35
other governors in budget discipline
and transparency in governance as
recognized by Transparency
International in Nigeria, TIN. In
December last year, was honoured
with the award for ‘Fiscal
Responsibility and Transparency in
Governance,’ by the he Nigeria
Union of Journalists, NUJ. In
November of the same year
Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of
Kano received the 2013 Best
Governor award from the African
Film Festival and Academy in
London, for his contribution to
education and youth empowerment
in his State. For introducing free
feeding to schools, apart from
receiving an award from UNICEF,
the federal government even
requested Kwankwaso’s blueprint
on school feeding.
This April, Ambassador Ireneo
Namboka from Uganda announced
the “Mothers of the Earth
International Award of Excellence
for Peace and Youth Development”
accorded the Kano State governor.
From an inherited debt of over 100
billion naira, Kano State, again
when compared to Lagos, the
second largest State in Nigeria and
Governor Fashola’s recognized
performance – Kano today has a
zero debt. Zero! The amazing
transformations to the State were
done within the State budget while
the inherited debt was cleared. We
thought this was impossible in the
modern world, but Kwankwaso
proved us wrong.
When asked how he did it,
Kwankwaso responded that apart
from ensuring full monitoring of
spending in all departments which
he first effected when he entered
office by bringing back his budget
from his first stint as Governor – as
he “could not understand all the
recurrent expenses” his
predecessor, Shekarau had;
Kwankwaso cancelled all
unnecessary State obligations
including free Hajj! He also
scrapped the three offices of the
First-lady and also cancelled an
office of the Chief of Staff. The
Governor also utilizes his Security
Vote for development of the people.
With these and more, he was able
to improve welfare across board,
shore up the financial accounts and
secure capital for the tons of
dynamic projects being executed in
Kano – all under Three Years!
Our investigators also saw
hundreds of low cost housing
estates being built by the Kano
government across the State. This
was one governor who recognized
the common man. A governor for
the common masses? The low cost
accommodation estates were built
with a modern design having no
overhead power transmission lines;
all preplanned and position
underground along with sewage
and drainage systems.
It now became obvious why
President Jonathan’s visit to Kano
was one of his most noted bitter
experiences and one which he could
not stop repeating Kwankwaso’s
name after. Jonathan’s greatest
fear appears to be Governor
Kwankwaso who has broken all
known barriers and punched holes
in all fallacies of what a Good and
Sincere Government “cannot do.”
We are eager to witness the
declaration of Kwankwaso and
invite all Nigerians to carefully
review his record of performance to
see if in this man and some form of
combination perhaps of Amaechi/
Kwankwaso or Kwankwaso/
Amaechi for instance, we can at last
see a government on the page with
us, who we will not rule us but will
lead with us all as full and equal
participants in securing our lives,
protecting, preserving and
maintaining our personal and State
assets while fighting for us against
the Cabal to give us a hope for
prosperity and progress.
I am one known for criticizing but
with Kwankwaso I find it hard to
pick things he is really doing badly
at; and the word on the streets in
Kano is all green. If his governance
is replicated for Nigeria, herein
perhaps is a chance for us… a
chance for Nigerians to respect,
appreciate and work along with a
leader they can trust and who has
the skill to deliver. I have not nearly
done justice to what we found;
everyone should please examine
Kwankwaso.
The Red Cap Revolution Will Be On
The Streets
Kwankwaso has said that if
Jonathan continues to block him
from the public places he will invite
us to the streets of Abuja for his
declaration. If you are ready for the
Revolution, join us on all the streets
across Nigeria from Calabar to
Borno, from Rivers to Sokoto.
Kwankwaso might just be the
revolution we need and can get
right now. Put on your red cap
tomorrow and march out for our
freedom from tyranny, oppression
and corruption.
