He condemned the recent protest by some northern groups against the Minister of State for Defense, Dr. Bello Matawalle, describing it as negative antics, targeted at president Bola Tinubu, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) Dr Abdullahi Ganduje and other leading politicians of the ruling party.
He said those insulting the leadership of the country are doing disservice to the nation and misleading the public.
Dr.Kwankwaso spoke on Sunday in an interview with journalists in Kano.
He said some politicians who’re now criticizing the government were alife but kept quiet during the misrule of ex-president Muhammadu Buhari.
He appealed to the elders in the North in particular to be focussed and work hand in hand with the governors of the region to bring dividends of democracy to the region as president Tinubu is there to support their efforts.
“Within the last one year of being in office he has achieved a lot but the mischievous people attacking him chose to close their eyes against the achievements” he stated.
He said some northern leaders are criticizing Tinubu because power has shifted to the south.
He said the Tinubu they’re insulting is the same man who supported Buhari for eight years.
According to him,”There were agreements in the past that led to the merger that founded the ruling APC as a strong political party in the country that began with the emergence of President Buhari,” he said.
He stressed that the same agreement led to the emergence of Tinubu as president and he fulfilled his part of the agreement satisfactorily.
