Politics is all about ability to deliver good governance to the electorate, especially in a state with high concentration of elites.
It is a known fact that, Kebbi state is blessed with all sorts of people who excelled in every sector of human endeavor.
One of such personalities is Abubakar Gari Malam (Shattiman Gwandu) who having reached managerial position in the Customs Service, retired as Deputy Comptroller General, (DIG) and immediately enlisted into a University degree.
The APC stakeholders in Kebbi state ought to think of a person with educational capacity and capability approach to governance.
Kebbi state with high concentration of retired and serving military officers in Zuru emirate, with huge technocrats in Gwandu,, Argungu and Yauri emirate with quite number of academics needs to have a person with sound educational background with vast experience in the scheme of things who can face any other candidate in the opposition.
Let’s make it clear that, the sensitivity of Kebbi people calls for the APC to endorse the candidature of Abubakar Malan as it’s flagbearer for easy response and acceptance by the electorate in all the 21 local government areas of the state.
It is just a matter of revival, as in all the 21 local government areas of the state, Malam has formidable political structure right from his sojourn contest in the ANPP, DPP and CPC.
It was because of the love and confidence people have in Abubakar Malan that caused breakaway of many of ANPP supporters during the second tenure of the former Governor Adamu Aliero to join Abubakar Malan when DPP gave him governorship ticket.
The trend continues upto the era of Buhari’s CPC, when Gari got the party’s gubernatorial ticket. So it’s time for the APC to think of having most qualified aspirant in the APC to sail it’s ship….
ENDORSE GARI… ENDORSE VICTORY.
