The chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Hashimu Sulaiman Dungurawa has likened the Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to President Bola Tinubu in the display of leadership tenets.
The party chairman who hailed President Tinubu for suspending a minister a s some other officials over suspected corruption, said Governor Yusuf also suspended a managing director who forged government documents to do away with property worth billions of Naira in the state.
The party chairman, who stated this while fielding questions from newsmen in Kano State yesterday, also hailed President Tinubu for being a good democratic leader worthy of emulation.
He added that there is every reason to thank President Tinubu for protecting democracy in the country and showing quality leadership.
Dungurawa said, “We are in a democracy.
This is the government of the people, for the people and by the people.
“You can’t come and say you are taking away the mandate of the people from them because the governor does not belong to the party of the central government.
“Unfortunately for the disgruntled persons, the central government is being led by a matured democratic personality. Someone that has been in the democratic system all his life and achieved great heights.
“Nigerians now have a very transparent government and are happy with the government of President Bola Ahmad Tinubu.
“He allows things to work accordingly without exerting personal whims and caprices. It is this quality that we lacked in the past where we have been under other leaders.
“They lacked democratic maturity, commitment and consideration for the interest of the people and they ruled people anyhow.
“Look at how President Tinubu sacked a whole minister suspected of syphoning public funds, look at how he suspended an Executive Secretary of a government agency and others look at how he is seriously showing concern for the people. These are things we want to be seeing in this country.
“In like manner here in Kano, when a managing director forged government documents to do away with property worth billions of Naira in the state, Abba didn’t hesitate to suspend him. He did the same to the Managing Director of the state radio who didn’t follow the due process in auctioning government property. He also suspended an aide when he was found wanting on the distribution of palliatives in the state.
“In the same way as president Tinubu did not condone corruption, so also governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
“We are here to serve the people and we are here on the people’s mandate and are supposed to serve the people accordingly,” he said.
