Good governance will make military rule less attractive in Africa – Ganduje

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said that good governance in Africa will make military rule unattractive.

Ganduje spoke on Sunday in Abuja when the National Chairman of the ruling party in Ghana, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Stephen Ntim, paid him a courtesy visit in his Asokoro residence.

Recall that the military took over power in many African countries, including Niger Republic, in recent times which have become a source of worry to democratic leaders.

Adamu called on African leaders to make good governance and the well-being of the citizens a priority to stop the trend.

Ganduje, a former Governor of Kano State, said, “You are breaking the ice between leaders of political parties in Africa. Political parties are the fulcrum of democracy. To stop military intervention in Africa, we need to provide good governance to our people to make military coups less attractive in Africa.”

Mr Ntim, who was accompanied by the Ghanaian Ambassador to Nigeria, Rashi Bawa, harped on the need to collaborate with the ruling APC in Nigeria to retain power in Ghana.

He said, “APC and NPP should be able to share ideals so that we can remain in government for the long term. We will learn a lot from APC.”
