Former
Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Musa Rabiu Kwakwanso, on Tuesday joined
the Lagos State Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in
Lagos State, Mr, Jimi Agbaje, in a visit to the Serikin Hausawa of
Agege, Lagos.
An impressive crowd thronged the
venue to serenade the Kwankwanso, the apostle of Kwankwansiya, who came
with the PDP flagbearer and his Running Mate, Mrs. Oluwayemisi Haleemat
Busari.
His Royal Highness, Alhaji Musa Dogonkadai, prayed for the duo as well as the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
The
former Kano Governor urged the Hausa community to support the PDP
ticket down the line from the Lagos State House of Assembly, House of
Representatives, Senate, Governorship and the Presidency.
According
to Agbaje, the non-indigenes in Lagos constituted irrepressible
stakeholders in the state and stood to benefit from a government of PDP
as epitomised by him and his partner, Mrs. Busari.
Agbaje
said that time had come for Lagos to cut itself loose from the
reprehensive rule of a cartel that had held the state captive for the
past 20 years.
Pointing out that the state had
experienced two types of civilian leadership, Agbaje said the state had
enjoyed massive development in multilateral sectors under the Second
Republic regime of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, while the current set of
rulers had pillaged the state for their selfish interests.
The
PDP leader said he represented the renaissance of the Jakande style of
unselfish and developmental governance, and Lagos State under him would
be rid of the negative indices that had made it about the worst of the
world’s mega cities.
Pointing out that Hausa
and Yoruba indigenes in Lagos had enjoyed fraternal peace these past
years, Agbaje urged the Serikin Hausawa and his council to urge their
people to identify with a PDP government that would cater to their
interest and their welfare.
