Shibkau, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Britain who said this in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, noted that the actions of Governor Lawal and Senator Bilbis have “advanced to unprecedented heights, the ideals and spirit of inclusiveness, sense of belonging, equity and equality among all the component communities in the state.”
While contending that Keshinro Ismail (Mrs Maryam Ibrahim Aliyu) can trace her roots several generations back to her home town of Tsafe in Zamfara, he dismissed as, hogwash and reactionary the reaction of some Zamfara people to the appointment.
Shibkau said those with a negative disposition to the appointee were doing so on the “pedestrian and divisive sentiments on the grounds of her faith as a Christian who also got married to someone from the southwest of the country.”
