KANO State
governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said President Goodluck Jonathan needs
the support of every Nigerian to end the saga of abducted schoolgirls at
Chibok, Borno State.
Speaking at the weekend, in Gusau, Zamfara State, in an
interview with newsmen, the governor said the abduction was not only a national
embarassment, but an issue that concerned every Nigerian.
He said at this time of the history of the nation, the president
needed the support of every Nigerian, to ensure the abducted girls were
released to their various families in good health.
According to him, “with all humility, we in the opposition
regret this dastardly act and condemn it in totality. We have to assist him and
join hands with him (president) in bringing to an end this national disgrace.”
On the recent victory of his party in the last local government
polls, he said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano got what it
deserved.
Kwankwaso berated the claim made by a former governor in the
state that the election was not free and fair.
“We conducted the best and the freest local government election
ever held in the country. The problem is that some people think they are very
important and that without them things would not happen.
“The election we held was just like a referendum. It has spoken
the minds of Nigerians and what to expect in 2015,” he said.
