Can we get to meet you sir.
My name is alhaji aminu suleiman, APC leader kebbi state, I am a politician and a businessman but presently i am more involve in politics because of my association with asiwaju ahmed tinubu who taught me a lot about politics, i am privilege to be in the circle of a leader who is an embodiment of politic of our time. As a result of my association with asiwaju i have really learnt a lot from him which has in no small measure influence me to be an active politician.
How did you meet Asiwaju ahmed tinubu ?
I met him through my brother who sent me to him when he was a governor , then fashola was the chief of staff so i have been able to maintain a cordial relationship with them till date which explain why asiwaju take me as his son and I really appreciate his goodness towards me. I just came back from Kano where asiwaju was given a doctorate degree. A lot of politician turned out there to celebrate him including the governor of Kano state and his commissioners. we had a great time celebrating the jagaban of Africa; a Man we are looking up to in 2015 to change the face of Nigerian politic by Allah’s grace., a man that would save us from the evils of the PDP ruled government so that all the book haram issue and all the travail of insecurity can be a thing of the past. These are part of the agenda of the APC. We need Nigeria to support us in 2015. We just need to do away with money politics and start voting for people who would make a positive impact in the life of Nigerians.
Are you an active member of the ACN before the APC party was formed?
I am a active member of ACN in my state. When we did the convention in Lagos i came with all our member from kebbi state including the party chairman, I even came with the former governor of Kano state, I have always been an active member of the ACN.
Some people believe the ACN to be a Yoruba party yet you are from the north, what is your take on this ?
For me to associate with tinubu during his tenure has the governor lagos that should tell you that tinubu is not a man that build is political belief around tribal sentiment but one who welcome anyone who share his political ideology. While in government he had the vision that he would one day extend his political aspiration to the north which is what is happening now. So any good minded Nigerian that share our political believe is welcome to be a part of our party.
What are the chances of APC in the next coming election?
What GOD has given asiwaju in the south west is what GOD has given buhari in the north and buhari is working hard to enlighten the people about their right. He is one leader we look up to in the north that is why he has a lot of supporters in the north and Ican assure you that he would have a lot of supporters in the next coming election. He is the only leader we have now in the north that can say I have not embezzle any public fund, he doesn’t have house in Dubai or Abuja. If Nigerians can think it would do us a lot of good to vote the right people into office, that is why asiwaju is joining hand with him, so that people can support the person that emerge has our candidate.
Some people believe that the APC would fall apart if the actors which make up the party does not reach agreement on their consensus candidate ?
I can assure you that we are one house working to come out with something that would favor all parties .
Is the party still working on bringing the apga party into APC party?
The chairman of apga is not with us but we are imploring okorocha to join us, for instance when tinubu was in office he was able to distinguish himself from his party and set his own pace. we believe okorocha can replicate the same feat if he join us. Okorocha should set out on his own if the party refuse to merge with us and let people decide who would become their next governor. We are ready to join hand with apga if they are willing to join merge with us . The decision is left for them to make.
What does your party plan to do for Nigerians if they comes to power come 2015 ?
We have many things to take care of, for instance, the problem of insecurity and light failure are some of the things we want to find a permanent solution for .These problem have scare away foreign investors from Nigeria. We are here to rescue the country from the bad leadership of the PDP. We have to take over in 2015 and turn things around for the good of Nigerians.
As the APC party leader in kebbi state what plans do you have for the people of kebbi ?
Before i came in one of our strong party member who happens to be a minister now defected to PDP which gave me the opportunity to be the new party leader. I am not going to change my party; i want to be like asiwaju party. We are working to present a very good candidate for the kebbi people.
How can you rate the performance of the present administration in kebbi ?
We are holding discussion with some of the major people that make up the government and from indication some of them might join us in the nearest future. That is what i can tell you.
What role have you played in the politics of Lagos as a northerner ?
I have been a spokesman for the ACN party in agege and idiaba where we have the Hausa community.
Where do you see yourself in the nearest future?
I see myself following the path and pace set by asiwaju ahmed tinubu
