"...duk wanda Allah ya haska,babu wanda ya isa ya dusashe..."
- mal. Ibrahim Shekarau
These words of the executive governor of Kano state exactly amplifies the same meaning with Mai Daji Sabon Birni's poetic admonition:that whosoever God decided to bless with power (or any blessing for that matter),it would be foolish to challenge or ridicule his authority.I think this was what the former governor,Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso tried to signify by his unbecoming rebbufing and his eventual refusal to appear before the administrative panel that was constituted to clear some gray areas that concerns some vital issue of governanace.And i believe that is exactly why Kwankawso was actually TRIED.
The issue that was the bone of contention as we all knew, was the position of treasury of the state when Kwankwaso was driven out of power by the votes of Kano electorates.The defeated governor claimed in his handing over notes that he left N3.9bn,while the incoming ANPP government instead, found N347m only.This fundamental discrepency in the actual amount of money left by the out going government compelled the Shekarau govt to invite Kwankwaso for an "explanation",but the democratically perplexed water engineer, refused to comply, perhaps not believing that his ertswhile P.S cum class room teacher could summon him for anything.
Worthy of note again, was the sadistic last minute projects(may be counted among the over 600) that the defeated governor instituted at the verge of their moving out.These "projects" for all intent and purpose were done in order to frustrate the incoming government.Among the projects under discussion, were the senseless creation of additional 37 local governments,employing 1000 workers and last minute "completion" of projects.
All these as can be seen, were not done in good taste but were deliberately done in order to "punish" Kanawa for overwhelmingly rejecting the government.
The people naturally look up to the incoming government with an unprecedented high hopes and expectations.This ostensibly make the new government appear to be helpless in trying to grapple with the new and more challenging responsibilities.However, in trying to clear the "errenouos" impression that the Shekarau have no any excuse for not "building" on what they have been busy doing to an ungrateful Kanawas,Shekarau had to clear the issue of the 3.9bn fat treasury, hence, the instituting of the probe panel.
Consequently,in a widely publicised public hearing of the panel's proceedings,damning and incridble tales were heard in which monies meant for students upkeep were wickedly diverted for selfish reasons.Moreover,shocking evidences also emerged on how "His lordship" ignores all laid down procedures,and informed advices, from his SSG and a late commissioner (may his soul rest in peace) on ecological fund.The former governor scandalously ignored the execution of more deserving projcts,he instead, resorted to constructing culverts!Despite all these,over 800m could not be accounted hence another need for him to come forth and clear his "hard earned" integrity.
As can be seen from the foregoing therefore, Kwankwaso was given an ample opportunity to clear his name and that of his government, but the man arrogantly rebuffed all the entrities.
Therefore,the issue now is wether the system would allow for the fair and just PROSECUTION of a publically and administratively indicted culprit.It remains to be seen wether kwankwaso would fear ALLAH and refund all the moneies that he knows are not legitimateyl his own.
As for his trial,i am afraid that he has already been tried by a duly constituted body and most importantly by people of Kano, who are now wiser to the kind of "leaders" they sometimes unfortunately had to bear with.
Then if he were "lucky" to jump the gun through the manipulation of our inperfect system,i believe that he and his type could never escape the just judgement and PROSECUTION of the supreme, WHO is all hearing all seeing.
