Why I joined PDP - Rimin-Gado
Meanwhile, Rimin-Gado has explained that he joined the PDP because it is the only viable alternative that can salvage Kano state from the current political mess.
He added that PDP as a repositioned party will cleanse the political mess in Kano come 2023.
His words:
“I have studied the current political situation in Kano and discovered that with the ongoing internal political crisis in both Ganduje and Shekarau’s camps of the All Progressives Congress, PDP is the only alternative party that can save the situation.
“The issue of who will be the next governor of the state, or who will be Senators in all the three senatorial districts does not matter, all we are after now is to salvage Kano from the current political mess. Politics is not a do or die affair.
“I joined PDP in order to serve my people and the state. I have done under the APC-led government and I am ready to do more under any political party."
Buni moves to end rift between Ganduje, Shekarau ahead of APC's convention
Meanwhile, ahead of its national convention, the ruling APC has inaugurated a reconciliatory team to settle the political difference in the Kano state chapter of the party.
The team led by the governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, would ensure reconciliation between Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and Senator Ibrahim Shekarau.
Governor Ganduje and Senator Shekarau, who was a former governor of Kano state have continued to fight over who leads the party in the state thereby leaving room for factions within the APC.
