Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was born on 21st
October 1956 at Kwankwaso town in Madobi
Local Government Area, Kano State. He had his
early primary education in his hometown before
moving to Wudil of Craft School (1970-1972) and
from there to Kaduna Polytechnic where he did
his National and Higher National Diploma. From
there he went on to Middlesex Polytechnic
(1982-1983) and Loughborough University of
Technology (1983 -1985) in the UK where he got
his Masters Degree in Water Engineering.
Engr. Musa Kwankwaso served as a civil servant
for 17 years in various capacities in Kano,
especially at the Kano State Water Resources
and Engineering Construction Agency (WRECA),
where he rose through the ranks to become
Principal Engineer.
His active party political life started with his
election as a member of House of
Representatives in 1992 representing Madobi
Federal Constituency. His 1992 subsequent
election as Deputy Speaker in the House brought
him to the limelight of national politics. This was
of course truncated by military coup. In 1994
Muhammad Rabiu Musa was elected delegate to
the constitutional conference which fashioned out
the constitution that later ushered in the Fourth
Republic. Under that dispensation, he contested
and won the governorship of Kano State which he
governed from 1999- 2003. He failed to win re-
election in 2003 and was subsequently appointed
Minister of Defence under President Obasanjo.
Advisor to President on Darfur and Somalia and
member NDPC representing North West.

Billyonaire: A central Bank governor that is not vested with statistics and inner working of the revenue generation of the government, is not qualified to be my personal accountant. Sanusi studied Islamic Religion most of his adult life and had no reason to head a central bank. He is a marxist like me, but truth is, he is supposed to lead political parties not even a central bank of burundi
Sanusi should just leave.

In 1985 Sanusi joined Icon Limited (Merchant
Bankers), a subsidiary of Morgan Guaranty Trust
Bank of New York, and Baring Brothers of
London. He moved to the United Bank for Africa
in 1997 in the Credit and Risk Management
Division, rising to the position of a General
Manager. In September 2005, he joined the Board
of First Bank of Nigeria as an Executive Director
in charge of Risk and Management Control, and
was appointed Group Managing Director (CEO) in
January 2009. He was also the Chairman,
Kakawa Discount House and sat on the Board of
FBN Bank (UK) Limited.[1] Sanusi is recognized
in the banking industry for his contribution
towards developing a Risk Management culture in
the Nigerian banking sector.[5] First Bank is
Nigeria's oldest bank and one of the biggest
financial institutions in Africa.[6] Sanusi was the
first Northerner to be appointed CEO in First
Bank's history of more than a century.[7]

residence.
Another version has it that the gunmen killed
several persons after shooting sporadically on
their way to Mr. Kwankwaso’s residence while
the old man narrowly escaped being killed.

APC is so good. I am happy that I am now in a
party that respects everybody big, small or medium.
Anybody in APC is today being respected unlike
the PDP where no individual, no group, no state not even a region is important to them.....Gov Kwankwaso

Has anyone been listening to the president
and his ministers lately to hear how they
have been praising themselves for their
monumental achievements in 2013? One of
them actually said that President Jonathan
recorded more achievements than all our
past heads of state put together. These
chaps are simply wonderful. I will not call
them stupid. It is either they are sick or they
are just comedians.
Meanwhile, I am in Dubai where their ultra-
performing leader, Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, said in effect that he
has not achieved anything yet. Whatever
they have done so far is nothing compared
to the plans that they have. Spot the
difference!

Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako
has said his defection to All Progressives
Congress (APC) was not informed by the
desire to become party leader in the state,
but a patriotic move to save democracy
from tyrannical grip.
The governor stated this through a
statement signed by his director of press
and public affairs, Mallam Ahmad Sajo.
Nyako said his defection alongside the
other four governors’ was informed by the
need to provide viable opposition platform
that would check the current drift in the
polity, particularly the replacement of all
democratic cultures and tenets with a
culture of impunity and political
brigandage.
“The need to join other patriots to form a
Pan-Nigerian national platform that will
serve as a veritable vehicle for the
enthronement of genuine unity, peace and
progress in the country and the desire to
build a political party that respects the
welfare and interest of the Nigerian people
was behind our resolve to move to APC,”
the statement said.
Governor Nyako further noted that at the
time they pulled out of the PDP, several
options were open to them, but they
considered moving to APC as it was the
best option to fight the injustice perpetrated
by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“We could have formed a new political
party; we could have joined a newly
registered party or any of the other existing
political parties in Nigeria. But we opted to
join APC because it represents a broad
based coalition of democratic forces built
on the ideals of progress and
development,” he said.

The ongoing nationwide strike by
polytechnic lecturers is set to continue as a meeting, Monday,
between the lecturers and the federal government ended in a deadlock.
The lecturers have been on strike since October 1 demanding among others better working condition,
infrastructure improvement, and an end to discrimination of polytechnic graduates.

The first challenge that the APC has is to
build a formidable party that not only has a
strong foundation and structure but also
has a clear left of centre ideological
leaning. Such a party must also be led by
an impressive set of educated, articulate,
clear thinking, historically-literate and
courageous leaders who are ready to risk
all, including their lives, to fight Jonathan
and save Nigeria from the evil called the
PDP.
The second challenge is for the party to
identify and field a northern Presidential
candidate that is acceptable to both
northerners and southerners and to both
Christians and Muslims from all over the
country.

Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako
has said his defection to All Progressives
Congress (APC) was not informed by the
desire to become party leader in the state,
but a patriotic move to save democracy
from tyrannical grip.

APC has
appointed a former Governor of Edo State,
Chief John Odigie Oyegun and former
Chairman of the defunct New PDP, Alhaji
Abubakar Kawu Baraje, to co-chair a high-
powered committee set up to resolve
internal crises rocking its chapters in
Adamawa, Kano and Sokoto States.
what “is happening in Adamawa,
Kano and Sokoto should be expected.
With the merger, political calculations and
equation are bound to be affected. With the
five governors coming over, these were
further affected.”
Mohammed said that there were instances
where three gubernatorial candidates
contesting on the platform of the defunct
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All
Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and
Congress for Progressive Change (CPC)
in 2011 are now together in the new APC
(Adamawa is a good example of that)
APC will not spare any effort to resolve the crises. The crises are normal. When the chances of political offices are contracted, naturally people will react. But we have set up a high-powered committee that will go
to all these states to resolve the crises.
Again, there is a lot of misunderstanding
and misplaced fear

A replica of what is happening in PDP is also happening in Burkina Faso as we speak. 75 Members decamp from ruling party for same reason.
APC leading the way

Pataki: Great. Keep this going.

We need to be kept updated on what our party is doing.

And if possible for those of us resident outside of Nigeria, is there a way APC can allow us to be officially registered as party members?

There are ways but will get a more details nd post it here

Obiagelli: wow great permutation, expecially the SGF. My only fear here is ameachi can't pull the needed crowd.

I like ameachi but I prefer fashola

Wow

Despite all the claims by President
Goodluck Jonathan and his men that a lot
is being done to improve power and other
critical infrastructure, the world’s richest
man, Bill Gates, has just released a
shocking fact that they are just lying and
deceiving Nigerians, as usual. Bill Gates
has assisted Jonathan on several issues,
so no one can claim that he is one of
Jonathan’s so called enemies.
