The Founder and Chairman Governing Council of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria and Niger, Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, has appealed to the good people of Gwarzo Local Government Area of Kano State to forgive their son, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam, the Deputy Governor -elect, if he has wronged them in anyway.
Similarly, he asked the deputy governor-elect to forgive those who may have offended him.
Prof. Gwarzo, who doubles as the Founder of Franco-British International University, Kaduna and the proposed Canadian University of Nigeria, Abuja, made the appeal on Saturday April 29, 2023, during a dinner organized by Gwarzo Consultative Forum (GCF) in honour of Comrade Abdulsalam.
“I sincerely appeal to anybody in Gwarzo, who might have been wronged or offended either knowingly or unknowingly by Comrade Abdulsalam, to please find in his heart, a place to forgive him as comrade has also forgiven all those who offended him,” Prof. Gwarzo said.
While noting that no society progresses politically, economically and or socially if it lacks the spirit of forgiveness, Prof. Gwarzo stressed the need for people to always forgive one another for the promotion of unity and peaceful coexistence.
Prof. Gwarzo quoted a French writer who said, “Any society that is unforgiving, that society is in serious trouble”.
He, therefore, reiterated the importance of forgiveness amongst people, adding that Comrade Abdulsalam is a man of integrity, who has already forgiven everyone that offended him.
He reminded elite and other people in the area of the need to put the interest of Gwarzo above their personal, because the interest of Gwazo is above anybody’s interest.
Prof. Gwarzo lauded the leadership of GCF, friends and family as well as wishers of Comrade Abdulsalam for attending the dinner organized in honour of the deputy governor-elect.
“Today is a memorable and historic one, as it’s the day we are rejoicing with our brother, father and friend, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam, on their victory in the March 28 governorship election,” Prof. Gwarzo said.
He described the emergence of Comrade Abdulsalam as the deputy governor-elect as a huge success for every indigene of Gwarzo Local Government Area, saying that every indigene should be proud of comrade and should offer him the needed support and advise to enable him deliver well in his new office.
He used the occasion to thank the National leader of New Nigeria People Party (NNPP), Dr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso for giving the area the deputy governor slot and prayed to Almighty Allah to grant Comrade Abdulsalam good health and wisdom to discharge the duties of his new office effectively.
