Inauguration: Okoeguale Applauds Abba Kabir Yusuf, Says ‘It’s Dawn Of New Era For Kano People’

New Nigerian People’s Party, NNPP, Edo State Gubernatorial hopeful, Peter Okoeguale, has applauded the new Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf of the NNPP, upon his inauguration ceremony, describing him as a man well suited for the job.

Okoeguale equally congratulated the good people of Kano, saying it is a dawn of a new era for the people and the entire state.

He wished Kabir every success in guiding the state towards stability, true democratic governance and economic development.

Okoeguale is of the opinion that the principles that will guide the new Kano helmsman’s administration will include “governing according to the constitution and the rule of law; to defend the state from injustice and all forms of criminality that threaten the peace and stability of the good people of Kano; and to remodel the state’s economy to bring about growth and development through job creation, food security and an end of extreme poverty.”

Okoeguale also applauded Kabir’s stand to address the state’s economic problems and his recent directive to investigate the huge debt of N241 billion left behind by his predecessor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, stressing that it is a step in the right direction.

He stated that Kabir, being a man of high integrity, will look deeply into the state economy to make monetary policy to be more business friendly and work towards bringing succour to the people of the state, while in the same breath, bringing investment into the state of Kano, which has huge investment potentials.

Okoeguale also reckoned that “Kabir has an established reputation as a bridge builder, a true progressive, an astute believer in development; a man who has, silently, over the years, sacrificed to ensure the sustenance of democracy in our country. He will bring these remarkable skills and attributes to bear in renewing the hopes of Kano people for a more prosperous State, thus, restoring the lost glory of Kano.”

The Edo Guber candidate stated his deep admiration for Kabir and expressed deep appreciation of the significant role he will be playing in remodeling and repositioning Kano as the leading commercial nerve centre in the Northern part of the country.

According to Okoeguale, “Your excellency, Mr. Governor, I look forward to your tenure marked by peace, prosperity and economic development of Kano – through an inclusive reconciliation process; remarkable focus on confronting insecurity and hardship through a reform of the sector; growing the economy; and tackling multi-dimensional poverty, which would boost Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and thereby create a robust middle class that will drive the economic rebound under your watch.”

In tune with the mood of the nation for “renewed hope” of a more prosperous and united nation, Okoeguale sends his best wishes for the success of the important work that lies ahead of the Kano State Governor.
