We’re not leaving APC — Rep Kawu
Category: Nigerian News
Deputy minority leader of the House of
Representatives Suleiman Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila has said that he and
other chieftains of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in
Kano State would not leave the party.
Following Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s recent defection to APC, speculations were rife that APC leader Malam Ibrahim Shekarau along with Kawu and other chieftains in Kano were not happy and planned to leave the party.
“I learnt some people went to the radio and said we’re leaving APC because some people came into the party. Let me assure you, our teaming supporters, that we’re going nowhere. We cannot leave APC; we never contemplated leaving the party, not even when we have suffered to have the merger that will save our country,” he said.
He said APC was the solution to the myriads of problems facing Nigeria and that it would give Nigerians purposeful leadership.
Kawu who has indicated interest to vie for the Kano state governorship seat come 2015 claimed that the PDP-led government “has done nothing to Nigerians rather than inflict untold hardship.”
He urged the people to continue to be peaceful and prayerful in view of the “hardship that we find ourselves in.”
Kawu who was addressing party supporters
at a rally in Kano over the weekend said they made a lot of sacrifice
to form the APC and wondered why they should leave when their efforts
saw three strong opposition parties merging to “salvage Nigerians from
the injustice of PDP.”
