Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has assured members of the House of Representatives canvassing for election of Hakeem Femi Gbajabiamila as Speaker that all Northwestern states are in support of his candidature.
The governor spoke when the team visited him at Kano Government House on Sunday, seeking his support.
He assured them that APC leaders in the zone were behind him.
Ganduje said:”I know the Southwest is solely behind you, the northwest where the highest number of voters is, is behind you. I am telling you this from the bottom of my heart.
“We need people like you and your colleagues because we are entering into an era with serious challenges and we need a very serious legislator as Speaker of the House to cope with the challenges ahead of us.”
Dr. Ganduje told the team that even former Kano State Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso and his followers are behind the candidature of Gbajabiamila in view of his experience, exposure and leadership potential.
He lamented that almost all the nation’s institutions are collapsing and need surgery. The governor stressed that there is need for experienced legislators to lead the lower chamber and work hand-in-hand with the Executive arm “to put things back on the right track”.
