Alfindiki to Kwankwaso: Don’t Distort History, You’re Not a Founding Father of APC
By Newsroom
A frontline All Progressives Congress stalwart, Alhaji Faizu Alfindiki during the weekend debunked insinuation by the ex-governor of Kano State, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a founding father of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
Faizu Alfindiki who spoke in Kano on Saturday explained that available records didn’t mentioned Kwankwaso as such as he was not a member of any of the legacy parties that formed the coalition in 2013.
The senior Legislative Aide to the Speaker of the House of Representatives listed the legacy parties as CPC under late Gen. Buhari, ACN was under the leadership of the sitting President, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu,
The smooth talking APC chieftain stated that
APGA joined the coalition under the leadership of Senator Rochas Anayo Okorocha, while the ANPP
was jointly led by Kashim Shettima, late Bukar Abba Ibrahim, Ibrahim Shekarau and Yariman Bakura to the Coalition.
He however stated that the likes of Rotimi Amaechi, Aliyu Wamakko, Murtala Nyako and Bukola Saraki joined the APC in 2014 barely a year after the coalition met and ratified the Protocol of the ruling party.
Alfindiki admitted that Kwankwaso’s move to the party helped the party in 2015, where he becomes a Senator, his deputy became the governor, while the party clinched all the political fortunes at stake in Kano state.
He advised the former Governor to remain grateful to the ruling party for festering his political career, and giving him a platform at a point of political extinction.
