To be truthful, the opposition party in Kano is swept by the aura of a high probability of winning the 2027 elections – which is why they’re seemingly divided, overtly or covertly, in forming a common resolution for unity.
The party is carried away by optimism in scaling through in the next general elections, political friction seems to twist party members minds, fueling internal conflicts and divisions – each side has its own motive for being opinionated.
Candidly speaking, craving for political survival has been a universal norm since time immemorial.
Succinctly, agitations for one candidacy or support in any given party: some are wholeheartedly charting a survival path for the party; some are for self-actualisation in making impacts on people’s lives, while others seek personal survival in politics.
In the context of the powerful opposition party in Kano, the former governor and immediate ex-party national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, stands as a father figure in APC Kano.
He’s seen as a topmost party elder statesman, holding the baton of decision-making as an experienced political leader entrusted with charting a sustainable future for the party, Kano state, and choosing the right candidate – the competent flagbearer.
As proverbially said, “Ido ba mudu ba, yasan kima” the eye isn’t a scale, but knows how to quantify.
Those capable of standing for candidacy are known; those superficially craving it but politically incapable are glaringly obvious.
Presently, Dr. Ganduje is encircled by ambitious contenders aspiring for the gubernatorial candidacy, while powerful backers and behind-the-scenes strategists navigate the party’s future – an impending issue requiring more than a kid’s glove.
This artwork captures more than faces, it captures a moment. “Sulhu Alheri Ne” isn’t just a call for peace; it’s a reminder that time’s running out and unity can’t wait.
With Ganduje at the center, urgency echoes. The clock’s ticking – peace must not be delayed. This imagery isn’t just art; it’s a message, a movement, a mirror for conscience.
Let’s choose peace; it’s worth more than pieces. A stitch in time saves nine.
