I’m unperturbed by detractors, says KSPWB D-G

From Mustapha Gide, Kano
The director general of Kano state pilgrims welfare board [KSPWB], Alhaji Sani Lawal Kofar-Mata said that his continued relevance on Kano’s political terrain is inevitable, even though some may feel uncomfortable with the activities of his political machine.
Kofar Mata told New Nigerian Weekly that going by Kano’s cosmopolitan nature, he intended to make politics part of his life, no matter what the odds were, pointing out that as a politician nobody among detractors posed a threat to him.
Kofar Mata, who said he would never rest on his oars in propagating and implementing Shekarau’s laudable policies, vowed never to be dismayed by any detractor.
He said, “ Let my detractor whoever he is go ahead with his activities. I have firm belief in Allah and I know I dont have any grudge against anybody. So God willing we are going to see light at the end of the tunnel”.
“We have heard rumours here and there. We are aware of what rumour mongers are spinning about contesting this or that. I dont give a hoot about their insinuations. I, however, want to assure them that we would continue to stand by our party and identify with rank and file of the ANPP, who remain loyal and devoted through thick and thin”, Kofar Mata added.
He extended a hand of friendship and solidarity to all party members in all nooks and cranies of the state, urging them to abide by party principles to show gratitude to Governor Shekarau, whose magnanimity he said had empowered a lot of people in Kano state.
“ It is therefore imperative for me and many others who believe in the ideology and political principles of Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau to leave no stone unturned in the protection and promotion of our amiable governor’s image whenever under whatever circumstances”, Kofar Mata stresses.
He said by the year 2011 ANPP would sweep all polls, hence, the need for party members to remain committed and be absolutely obedient to the party’s leadership.
