Some Abuja-based professionals have called on President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, to appoint Kano State governor and Senetor-elect, Kano central senatorial district, Engineer Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso, as the next minister for the Federal Capital Territory.

Spokesperson for the group, Ben Agarry, explained that the federal capital needs a minister who will replicate what the former minister of the FCT, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai did to sanitize the Federal Capital city when he was the minister.

“FCT would have long witnessed more development than it is, if el-Rufai had remained as the minister all these years,” he said.

He argued that since it is not possible to have el-Rufai reappointed as the FCT minister because of his election victory as Kaduna State governor-elect, the next person that can do as much as him is Kwankwaso.

“We have seen what he did in Kano state. As far as we are concerned he is the best governor in the whole of the Northern region, and FCT deserve a person with such proven integrity and track record.

“I was amazed with the kind of structures I saw in Kano when I visited the last time. I mean tangible things you can point to as development. And you hardly see him go to the television to make noise as some other governor do,” Agarry said.

“We are very serious with our demand and we will not rest until we see it come to pass. We are tired of ministers who end up doing nothing all through their tenure. In fact there was one who only built bumps throughout the roads of Abuja. This is not what we want, we want meaningful development and that is what Kwankwaso will give to us,” he concluded.
