I write this letter as a dedicated follower of the Kwankwasiyya movement, a movement that has inspired millions across Nigeria with its foundation of justice, transparency, and integrity. Your leadership has not only given hope to the weak and vulnerable but has also paved the way for a new generation of politicians who have taken up the mantle of trustworthiness and truth under your guidance.
As a native of Kano, specifically Dandago ward of Gwale Local Government, I stand with many others who believe in the core values of the Kwankwasiyya ideology which have become a beacon of hope for all who seek justice and fairness in leadership. However, recent events within my ward have cast shadows over these ideals, and I am compelled to bring these irregularities to your attention in the spirit of the movement that you have built and led so honorably.
Your Excellency, following party directive for councillorship aspirants across the state to form consensus, many wards have adhered to this instruction with diligence and fairness. Unfortunately, this is not the case in my ward. Contrary to the clear orders, a candidate has been announced without the knowledge or involvement of the other aspirants. No selection criteria were provided, and no opportunity for consensus was granted. Instead, this decision appears to have been made behind closed doors, far-off from the principles of transparency and fairness that you have always championed.
We believe that the actions taken in Dandago do not reflect the intentions or the values of the Kwankwasiyya movement. These actions demoralize the confidence of the people who have for so long looked up to it. It is also our strong belief that you are not aware of these irregularities, and that once you are informed, you will take immediate steps to correct these injustices and hold those responsible accountable.
We strongly believe that bringing this matter to you as the National leader who is know as an icon of democracy, a leader with deep-rooted principles, and a champion of national politics, a leader who has always been a mirror for the upcoming generation of young politicians, we trust that you will bring fairness, transparency, and justice prevail in this matter, setting a strong example for the future of our great movement and the nation at large, for those are your legacies.
