The Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, has inaugurated the Committee of Patrons of the Gauta Club, a strategic step aimed at promoting effective leadership and sound organizational structure within the Club for the greater good of Kano State.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Comrade Waiya, who was recently appointed as the Grand Patron of the Gauta Club, noted that the selection of the patrons was based on merit, integrity, and commitment to the development of Kano State, irrespective of political affiliation or ideological differences.
According to the Commissioner, “This initiative is guided purely by the love for Kano. We deliberately selected distinguished individuals from diverse backgrounds without considering party lines, because the focus is on progress and unity, not politics.”
He explained that the formation of the patrons’ committee was necessary to enhance the operations of the Club in a more organized and purposeful manner, aligning with the vision to build a better political and social climate in the state. He charged the patrons to remain loyal and committed to the ideals of the Gauta Club.
Comrade Waiya further emphasized that the move aligns with the broader vision of sanitizing political engagement in Kano State by discouraging hate speech, political bitterness, and abusive language, particularly in media discourse.
He clarified that the formation of the patrons’ committee is not in any way targeted at stifling opposition, but rather, to strengthen inclusive and respectful political dialogue.
The Commissioner also praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, for his unwavering support for initiatives that foster political sanity and unity in the state.
The newly inaugurated 14 patrons of the Gauta Club are Bashir Adamu Gaya, Hon. Idris Danzago, Isa Bello Ja, Ibrahim Dan Adamdam, Damina Ali Gwarzo, Auwalu Maiturare Bichi, Comrade Rabiu Bala, Muhammad Idris, and Hon. Danjummai Gwoska.
Others include: Engineer Muhammad Tarauni, Lawan Sofi Dammasanin Gaya, Hajiya Binta Sayyadi, Hajiya Habiba Dandalla, and Hon. Aminu Bichi.
Speaking on behalf of the newly inaugurated patrons, the Secretary of the Gauta Club, Ibrahim Global Gwammaja, lauded the Commissioner and Governor Yusuf for their efforts in uniting members of the Gauta Club, describing the initiative as a bold step toward promoting decent, peaceful, and constructive politics in Kano State.
