A former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, has said that there is nothing like zoning in the constitution of the All Progressives Congress.
According to him, it may be in that of the Peoples Democratic Party but not in the APC’s.
He said this while interacting with journalists on Sunday, saying what should matter to the electorate was quality leadership.
Shekarau, also an APC senator, said, “I want to tell you that there is no place in the APC constitution that the issue of zoning is mentioned. I think it is only being considered by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“All we need is quality leadership, fairness and justice to all, and carrying everyone along; that is what is called balancing of equation.”
He also cleared the air on his relationship with Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and his (Ganduje) predecessor, Rabiu Kwakwanso, saying he had no grudge with both.
He said, Ganduje and I have been together for so many years. When I was the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office then, he was a commissioner, and we used to interact a lot.
“I want to assure you that our relationship has since remained cordial, even up to now. So, there is no any problem between us.
“The same thing applies to Kwankwaso; we are in good relationship. Our political differences has not, and will not, affect our relationship. I have never defected from one party to another because of him.
“When I was in APC, Kwankwaso joined the party and then, I left, not because of him, but because of the leadership of the party. The same thing when I was in PDP; I later left, not because he joined the party,” he said.
Kano politics has, in recent years, been revolving around the trio.
While Ganduje was Kwankwaso’s deputy, they fell out after Ganduje’s election.
The frosty relationship has occasionally been heating up the polity.
