Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has said PDP chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff , would work for the APC from inside the PDP.
He said his emergence is a development the APC, is comfortable with.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja yesterday, the governor said: “We are happy because we believe in the long run he would work for us. Find out his history you will believe me.”
He said: “I do not wish to engage in cross fire. But I will like to tell you that it is the normal utterances of those who want to impress his followers. But I believe it is an empty threat. “Looking at the antecedents, the history of the chairman himself, we all know he is a cross carpeter.
“He is always on the move in changing from one party to the other. Even when he was in All Nigerian Peoples Party, ANPP, for eight years, he was working for the PDP.
“Even APC started with him, and then he went back to PDP and we were happy. I am sure in the long run he would work for us. That is what I believe.”
On state police he said “The situation we find ourselves, I think there is no better time we need the state police than now because the security at the moment requires intelligence information, it involves people who are conversant about the society, who are conversant with the tradition, who are conversant with the culture. “They are in a better position to assist in terms of surveillance, in terms of collecting information and in terms of being effective. So I think the idea of a state police is something that we need to pursue.”
