‘In Kano, PDP Exaggerated APC’s Problems, Using Propaganda to Create the Wrong Impression’ - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
Nseobong Okon-Ekong converses with a chieftain of the All Progressives Party, Senator Basheer Garba Lado, who represented Kano Central Senatorial District in the 7th National Assembly and served as Director, Contact and Mobilization, North, in the Buhari Presidential Campaign Council.
Let me start by thanking the Almighty Allah and the good people of Kano for the victory. In my opinion, the notion that the PDP almost defeated us in the assembly and gubernatorial elections is totally wrong. There were a number of people who were opposed to some of Gov Ganduje’s policies in Kano.
This is where I fault the position of my colleagues, namely Senators Kabiru Marafa and Magnus Abe. Sometimes we have to put the party’s interest above personal consideration. If I had followed their approach, the APC would have been plunged into a serious crisis and suffered dire consequences. Remember, the relationship between Shekarau and Mr. President had not been so cordial.
Soon after the declaration by INEC the governor called for an emergency meeting of all the major stakeholders. We sat and quickly reviewed the election in its entirety. We were able to retrace our steps, analyze the problems, particularly what went wrong. No matter what anybody says about the governor, you cannot take away humility and political sagacity from him. As a first move, he started seeking audience with the aggrieved business communities, explaining the need for their support. As Gama Ward was the decider, he took it upon himself to visit the local government every day of the week, interacting with the elders, youth and women.
