Former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has been attacked by Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi, former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Bichi who dumped PDP to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) said;

“Following a call by the president to join hands to move the nation forward and the call by the Kano Governor to come and help build a greater Kano, it has become pertinent for us to come and contribute our quota towards the development of the state.”

“We have been forced to remain as opposition for the past 20 years, following Kwankwaso even while we were in power, a situation that has not yielded anything good and progressive.”

“We need a polity where progress and development of the state are ahead of personal whims and desires and so we have to cut that trend of opposition to set the state along the right track of development just like it is in Lagos state.”

“Your Excellency, all of us you see here joining the APC have decided after due consultation to join in the development of the state. Almost everyone that was in the Kwankwasiyya is with us here except for very few and those who other commitments could not allow them to come.”

“Among us here are former commissioners, former advisers, and others, all of who you have known for long. If we continue along the path of progressive governance, Kano will surely be ahead of other states in the country and we are all here to contribute our quota.”
