My ideology ‘ll outlive 2015 –Kwankwaso

Kano State gover­nor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has said that his de­velopmental ideology for the state would go beyond 2015 since governance is about continuity.

Speaking yesterday at the opening ceremony of the 6th retreat for political office holders, top govern­ment functionaries and direc­tors in the state, Kwankwaso said people of the state would enjoy more goodies in years to come.

The governor who was rep­resented by his deputy, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar

Dandude said the Kwank­wasiyya ideology will outlive 2015.

He said that was the reason for the retreat in order to draft a budget of consolidation and continuity that will transcend the imaginary boundaries of May 2015 transition through to current advocacy for a smooth succession.

“It is only by so doing, that the dream for greatness could be upheld and sustained.

“We have just come out of the political primaries with the hope of producing the next best caliber of leaders that will hold unto the steering for the ship of governance. While I congratulate all the success­ful aspirants, I call on those who are not that lucky to join the team to transform Kano State to the commercial haven of West Africa. “We trained over 2000 health technology graduates and pharmacists and gave them N50,000 plus non-interest loan of N100,000 to operate pharmacies under the ‘Lafiya Jari programme’.

“1700 youth trained in the use of modern farm equipment and each mobilised with the sum of N140,000 each, built two universities and 23 num­bers of training institutions and the provision of streets lights,” he said.
