APC Chieftain Attacks PDP National Secretary Over Statement

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Alhaji Abdulrahaman Baffa Yola, yesterday threw his weight behind the statement by Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on President Goodluck Jonathan and Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswil Akpabio. Kwankwaso had while reacting to the statement of President of Jonathan during a rally in Kano tongue lashed the president and Akpabio while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last week in a statement by its national secretary, Professor Wale Oladipo, replied by describing Kwankwaso as a scavenger. Yola who was a national officer of defunct ACN said Kwankwaso has spoken the minds of millions of people of Kano state. “I doubt if it is the PDP that issued the statement, I know it was Professor Oladipo that issued it himself and not for his party. If you look at the way Oladipo came up to become the national secretary you will know he is the one scavenging in politics. “Even members of his party at his state of Osun protested against his candidature when he was named as national secretary. This is a person whose CV in politics is empty. So it is worrying for somebody like him to be attacking politician like Kwankwaso,” he said in a phone interview. He said Kwankwaso’s credentials in politics has made him to stand tall even among his colleagues across the country. “You cannot just come into politics and start attacking credible people like Kwankwaso who have endeared themselves to their people,” he said.
