The fourteen members led by Senator Kabiru Gaya made this known on Thursday at a joint briefing of newsmen from both chambers of the National Assembly in Abuja.
According to Senator Gaya, as major stakeholders in Kano State, we hereby state unequivocally that His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has performed creditably well in the saddle of captainship of the State and has therefore earned our unalloyed support and vote of confidence.
“We hereby enjoin him not to be distracted by the agents of darkness but to keep up the good works he is doing in Kano State.
No amount of blackmail and subterfuge can obliterate the excellent work that his Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has done and is still doing in Kano State. All hands must therefore be on deck to support Governor Ganduje to win his re-election in 2019 in order to continue his good works in the state.
We call on the opposition and their selfish collaborators in our government to desist from towing the devilish path of character assassination and outright falsehood and embrace issue- based campaigns as we approach the 2019 elections”, said Senator Gaya.
The federal lawmakers from Kano explained further ” that the unmistakably glaring signal is that the people of Kano State have spoken with one voice in support of the Governor,s good works by coming out enmasse to identify with him. Unfortunately, this outstanding performance of the governor has not gone down well with the opposition who are busy trying every tricks in the books to discredit and tarnish the image of this highly rated governor, apparently to slow him down and also distort electoral projections for the re-election of Dr. Ganduje and Mr. President having seen kano as a fertile ground for the electoral success of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The Gaya led members accused some politicians in the corridors of power of being more interested in their own personal ambition rather than the collective success of the Buhari Administration.
“They have keyed into this devilish scheme not only to undermine His Excellency, Dr. Ganduje but also to throw spanners into the electoral fortunes of Mr. President as far as Kano State politics is concerned.”
“These roamers who also double as moles are empty vessels and bad belle politicians who played little or no role in the election of Mr President in Kano State before Mr President through his magnanimity brought them on board but are now capitalising on that privilege by trying to harm the interests of Mr President and the APC government in Kano State . They are shameless masters in the art of promotion of selfish agenda over and above the collective intetest of APC and Mr President, through stealth deceit and treachery”,the Kano lawmakers said.
While pledging 5million votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election, the lawmakers call on the President to be wary of these people.
