…We have thrown away our red caps – Kano APC

National leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC John Odigie-Oyegun has re-iterated their support to the governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje just as the APC members has declared that the wearing of red cap is no longer under compulsion.

Addressing a delegation of over 200 party supports from Kano yesterday in a courtesy call at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, Oyegun said that Kano state is very critical to APC and the party will do whatever is possible within the limits of the constitution to protect the office of the governor.

Oyegun maintained that  the present economic situation of the country demands that all rally behind elected officers to ensure that the lean resources accruing to the states are not dissipates on the alter of frivolities.

Oyegun said, that the party has already constituted a committee lead by the Deputy National Chairman South to look into the situation in Kano to ensure that Kano harvests from the full benefits of the change agenda.

Oyegun said that the governors forum and traditional rulers have welded into the matter to ensure that normalcy returns to the state.

Oyegun said, “It is a situation that we must not as a party allow to blossom. We must nip it in the bud because it is a most unnecessary, a most distracting a most capable of causing problem in a state as sensitive and to some extent as volatile as Kano State.

“Kano must not go any further so it does not become yet another issue so that we be feeding the press.

“And I want to plead with you to help ensure that peace and situation ante returns. We have only one government in Kano and there is no question about that.

“His authority must be upheld and there is no question about that. The governor is not on trial, there is no question about that.

“So it is important that we give him the atmosphere necessary for him to govern successfully especially in this times when resources are lean, very very lean.

“It is important that all Kano leadership is united behind the governor to make sure that  he succeeds.

“So none of us must do anything underline, anything that is likely to make the situation worse.

“Let me warn that the greatest disservice you can do to ourselves  now is to be having internal wars within the party, internal war in a state as critical to us as Kano state. Kano is an important and critical state to the APC.

“So for the third time I am appealing to you that you assist us to restore amity to Kano state and to put every citizen of Kano behind the governor to help him to execute his mandate in this very very difficult times.

Also speaking in an interview with newsmen, the Kano state APC acting chairman, Abdullahi Abbas Sanusi, said the wearing of red cap in the state is now optional.

“Now there is change. Kano APC members now have a free hand to do whatever they want to do. If you want red you put it on, if you want green, if you want black, its optional. You can put on anything you want.”

The delegation which was led by the  Chief whip of House of Representatives, hon. Ado Dogowa told the party leadership that the delegation want the party’s leadership to intervene in the crises rocking APC kano by ensuring that elected leaders are allowed to discharge their covenant with the people without distraction.

According to Dogowa, “While we appreciate very sincerely the efforts you are making in the centre to make peace within the ranks of the party, we would like you withdue respect, to respect the voice of the people. Respect the voice of change. Respect the position that will put the party on the right track not only on the right track, to be in tandem with the provisions of the party in every other state in the country. A position whereby everybody knows that you cannot have two captains in a ship. I believe that is the constitution of the APC as it is today.

“The governor of the state is always the leader of the government and the leader of that political party. If there is any other thing, it is to uphold the tenets of this party to keep straight that this governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is the leader of the government in Kano and the leader of the party.

“We all decided to queue behind him not because we hold anybody in suspect. We all decided to queue behind the governor to give respect the established which I think you (chairman) represent at this meeting.

The Kano State PRO Bashir Yahaya in an address relayed the the national leadership of the party that Umar Haruna Doguwa (chairman) and Sanusi Sirajo Kwankwaso(organising secretary) have been sacked due to disloyalty to party ethics of discipline and unity.

He equally condemned the funfair displayed by Senator Kwankwaso when he paid a condolence visit to Ganduje over the death of his mother.

“Sadly and unfortunately, the purported condolence visit paid by Senator Kwankwaso was to say the least a misnomer to cultural and religious norms and had assaulted the person of the Governor and Government of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje” Yahaya insists.

Addressing the press after the visit, the Kano State APC chairman, said that emphacised their support for the governor, adding that the era when they were compelled to put on the alleged’kwankasiya red cap’ is over.

On the delegation is the speaker Kano State house of Assembly with 36 out of 40 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, Chairman of the Elders forum Committee, representative of former members of Kano State House of Assembly, Algon Chairman Kano State leading 38 other chairmen, Chairman of Councillors forum leading a delegation of several counsilors, and a representation of 36 local government chairmen,
