Member representing Kiru/Bebeji Constituency, Kano, Dr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, has called for urgent reconciliation between former governors of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Umar Ganduje, amid their lingering feud, to move the state forward. .
This was just as he charged all well-meaning citizens of Kano to join forces to reconcile the two political leaders for the betterment of the state.
Jibrin, Chairman of the House Committee on Housing and Habitat, described the dispute between the duo as unfortunate and a setback for Kano State.
He noted this on Thursday during an interview with a local radio station in Kano (Freedom Radio), which was followed by the Nigerian Tribune.
According to him, “they were friends for a long time and started good things together but what is happening between them is sad and painful.”

Continuing, he said: “Whoever is aware of what is happening in Kano knows that the genesis will not be unconnected with the lingering dispute between Kwankwaso and Ganduje.
“Everyone knows that we are all members of the NNPP and disciples of Senator Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiyya movement. But it is an obligation for some of us to force a reconciliation between the duo.
“They were friends for a long time and started good things together but what is happening between them is sad and painful. “This is not a time to open old wounds but a time to embrace a future of peace, unity, tranquility, progress and development.”
However, he emphasized that “whether they like it or not, the question of politics is something else, it is their choice, but as Muslims we have a duty to do the right thing by reconciling them.”
“I have nothing personal about this but it is the right thing to do and for those people who do not want to see a reconciliation between Kwankwaso and Ganduje, may Allah guide them to the right path,” he concluded.
