The Governor of Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said that President Goodluck Jonathan would not be welcomed to the state by residents.

The governor stated this yesterday while adding that the president had been unable to improve the standard of living in the country since he got into office.

He said:

“I regret voting for Jonathan in 2011. He has not done anything to move the nation forward. “Only a few people are enjoying in Nigeria and this is at the expense of other citizens.

“We are still waiting to hear the truth about the alleged missing funds, which led to the suspension of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

“If someone alleges that N20 million is missing in one of our ministries, I will investigate the matter and if I find the allegation to be true, I must praise the person for a job well done and then take appropriate action.”

The Nation reports:

 He urged the electorate to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015, saying the APC is the most powerful party in Africa.

Kwankwaso accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of buying members over, saying the APC has taken measures to tackle the issue.

The governor appealed to APC supporters to be patient as the party has set up necessary machinery, which would ensure its victory in 2015.

He said those calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to conduct elections in the Northeast have lost focus.
