”I thank each and everyone of us for finding time to be here. I am sure, in the past two-and-half hours, each and everyone of us has enjoyed his or her self.”
”We have listened to our great artists (members of the Kwankwassiya Songs Group), they did not only speak to us–members of the Kwankwassiya Movement, but speak to each and everyone in this country, and beyond.
Some of these songs are so good, so great that anywhere you go in these country, and even beyond, you see all Hausa-speaking people discuss it; to the extent that I believe so many of our followers were convinced by these songs.
“I want to say thanks to Alhaji Tijjani Gandu, the Chairman of the group (Kwankwassiya Songs Group), and all other artists gathered here.
Kwankwaso also thaanked the Organizing Committee headed by Dr. Yusuf Kofar Mata. “My thanks also go to his members, I thank them for organizing this wonderful occasion.
Let me also take this opportunity to remind you that Kwankwassiya members, where ever they are, remain peaceful people. We keep on being peaceful.”
” I am sure you remember in 2019, we won election in this state (Kano), but the enemies of the State worked against us through INEC, through the Court, and so on, but what happened is now history.”
The same thing! This time around, in 2023, “we won election, overwhelmingly, and there was a lot of efforts by the enemies of the State, who are the minority here—they worked so hard to take it; but by the grace of God, Allah in his own wisdom, decided to ensure justice is done; and I am sure that has gone a long way in maintaining peace and order in the State.”
Now, it looks like the enemies are at it again! You know what is happening on the issue of the Emirate Council. We thank all those who are supporting the position of the government. We are one and we will continue to be one.
“I am so happy to say that even today (Tuesday, June 18), the 44 Local Government chairmen of our party—the NNPP visited me. I asked them whether one person left this (Kwankwassiya) Movement: they said capital NO. They said everybody is intact.
They said, in fact, on the contrary, people were further re-enforced. They said they are also working to ensure that more and more people are joining this Movement.
“I am not surprised over their response because the average Kano person does not want injustice; and that why we are here.”
“Our fathers and great grand-fathers fought injustice; and we will continue to do it as their sons and daughters here n Kano.”
He applauded the efforts and focus of the present administration in Kano under the stewardship of Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf for initiating various developmental programmes geared towards improving the well being of the people.
