Speaking on Wednesday, April 5, at the second Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit (KADInvest 2.0), the Sultan said governors who have performed poorly would be voted out.

“For those that worked well, we will bring then back, for those that did not will show them the road to their villages,” Sultan said.

“We will use our votes to vote out these governors in 2019.

“We must focus on programs that will touch the lives of the common man and not just the elites.”

ZENITHBLOG.com reports that Sultan further advised governors to set politics aside once elections are over and bring all expertise needed for the development of their states on board.

“When you get to the Government Houses, throw the

key to politics away. Put politics aside and have the development of our people as your priority.

“Let us face issues that will bring water and food to the table of the common man, the ordinary Nigerians, the man that pushes wheelbarrow to get food for his family, the man that draws water to sell and make a living,” he said.

Also at the event, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, blasted conservative northern leaders who discourage attitudes and activities that, he said, would have developed the region.

Emir Sanusi, giving examples of the destruction of romance and love books by a former Kano governor and the response of the Zamfara State Governor to the current meningitis outbreak in the state, said what exists in Northern Nigeria is “a complete failure of social policy.”

He also faulted statement by Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara that the meningitis outbreak in his state and others was God’s punishment for peoples’ sins.
