Letter to Abba Gida-Gida

I would like to, first of all, congratulate you on your victory in the Supreme Court, which makes you nervous and suspenseful about the ruling. However, I wish to advise you based on the Kano people and beyond trust and a soft spot for you that made them vote for you to never disappoint them—for you will regret doing so eventually.

In the past and even now, many individuals have said that the politics of godfatherism are what may likely make you disappoint those you govern, but I am sure you will have them buried in their heads like bloody cow carcasses—I mean, the people saying that the politics of godfatherism is what may ultimately break you.

Abba, always be reminded of the show of love that the electorate displayed for you and solidarity, even from those who are from other states of the country. Put that at the back of your mind to the extent that whatever you do, you will consider it.

Sir, no one could deny the obvious fact that you have a passion for impartial leadership, which has been the driving force behind the people confiding in you from 2019 to 2023, when you were elected as the executive governor of Kano State.

Sir. Yusuf, you have demonstrated that you have a good blueprint for the common people of Kano State. This fact is undeniable for Kano residents and the whole country in general. Nevertheless, you started reviving what Kano lost, ranging from educational reform, agricultural development, health care, and so forth, with a clear mind—never back down, please.

Therefore, don’t allow yourself to be brainwashed by those who don’t have the state at heart but rather their narrow personal interests. People all over the world prayed and wished you well from the start of your political endeavors to where you are, so never make them regret their confidence in you.

I wish you all the very best in all your administrations.
