The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has dismissed
claims by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State about the North backing the
Presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu.
AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima, said Ganduje was
not speaking for the entire North when he backed Tinubu’s Presidential
ambition.
Ganduje had said the entire North would back the
Presidential ambition of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Leader.
The Governor had noted that Tinubu supported President
Muhammadu Buhari into assuming power; hence the entire North would back his
ambition.
However, Shettima, while speaking, said the
North is not Lagos State, “so Ganduje can’t speak for the entire region.”
The AYCF National President accused Ganduje of pushing for
their selfish interests.
According to Ganduje: “Ganduje is entitled to his opinion,
and probably he is just waking up from his dream. This is an expensive joke,
and he knows it’s not true.
“Most of these guys believe that they can wake up and
continue doing the same old things as regards politics; they believe that it’s
what it was in the past.
“We know what happened and how he survived being a governor
of Kano apart from the advantage of the incumbency from the ruling party that
came together to work and ensure that they find a soft landing for him to get
to where he is.
“So for this, he cannot be said to be speaking for the
North. Lagos is different from the North. I wouldn’t blame him because most of
them know that they are going into compulsory retirement in politics, so they
can go to any length to say something that would ensure they remain to remain
politically relevant.
“But you and I know that what he said is not true. We know
how he managed the situation during Asiwaju’s birthday in Kano; we know what
happened at the State House.
“Anybody can say anything today, but we all know it’s all
about their personal interest, it’s not about talking the election is around
the corner. Let them prove to Nigerians how popular they are among their
constituencies.”
