TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12 , 2004           No more axe to grind with Kwankwaso �Danhassan By ABDULLAHI YAKUBU ONE-TIME gubernatorial candidate in Kano state on the platform of (PSP), Dr. Umar Yakubu Danhassan has said that they have reconciled their differences between him and the former governor of Kano state, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, now minister of defence at personal level but not politically. Speaking to a cross section of journalists in the state capital during the week, Alhaji Danhassan said what put their heads on collision course was based on issues that are so trivial but weightier in their outlook. He said though several attempts were made by their friends to reconcile them before the conduct of the gubernatorial elections, that effort however, yielded the desired result. Dr. Danhassan who was emphatic on the issue, stated: �We have met severally to talk about what separated us but only iron out that which was personal, but deliberately forgot the political aspects�. He stress that he is still in the PSP and is comfortable with his unique position. Danhassan who seems to be a lone fighter, said its true that such a dogged fight led his party to victory in Kura local government area, saying efforts will be made to strengthen the PSP to take control of the state come 2007. Commenting on the series of meetings organized by his ardent supporters at his residence, he said it was aimed at re-engineering the party and to make the group be more alive and combatant for any challenges. On why he has not come out boldly to side with either of the presidential hopefuls in town he said: �I was not contacted by any of the presidential candidates but when ever I�m contacted I will study first the manifesto of the aspirant and see if it tallies with that of my party and then I may render my support where necessary�. On his closeness to Vice President Atiku Abubakar, he dispelled the rumour, saying that he has only been so close to the VP only at a peripheral level. On his future political ambition, he said he will not pre-empt himself now as it will be good to allow time and events to speak for themselves. He used the opportunity to call on all and sundry to cooperate with the government at all levels so that democracy will thrive on a sound pedestal.   SITE TOOLS Print This Page   EMAIL THIS PAGE Friend's Name: Friend's  Email: Your Name: Your Email:           � Triumph Publishing Company Limited 2004
