Ganduje and Kwankwaso
Former Governor of Kano State, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje and the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken his political rival, Rabiu Kwankwaso to the drycleaners, saying, “His tenure as Minister of Defense was nothing but a failure.”
Ganduje said in a circulated clip that, Kwankwaso tenure as Governor of the state was merely done on parts, because he was chased away and managed to stage a comeback, while his tenure as Senator was nothing but a total waste and served as Minister of Defense but without the actual knowledge of what Defense is all about.
The APC National Chairman, noted that “Yes I agreed that Kwankwaso was my political partner but I had never been his political godson, what’s happened was that we contested the same gubernatorial seat back in 1999 I was appeased to go for Deputy Governor but not as his boy”.
The former governor hints that his experience as a sound politician is never contestable, that is why he sees himself and his Family as Elephants, who always showcase literally meaning of life, full of knowledge and understanding of livelihood not like Kwankwaso and his Family.
However, Ganduje said that as National Chairman of APC the door is wide open for Kwankwaso to defect back to the Party if so wishes and he (Ganduje) would simplify means for Kwankwasoto always easily access President Bola Tinubu anytime he so wishes.
Similarly, Ganduje condemned the Kano Government of NNPP for demolishing buildings including that of Eid Ground, insisting that what they do in the names of religion is so ignorance of thevery religion they are talking about.
But in a few seconds clip, Kwankwaso was overheard saying that President Tinubu had made the mistakes of his life for giving Ganduje National Chairman of APC, noting that the action has forced him out of the earlier Unity Government the President planned.
Kano was awash with comments on the new imbroglio between Ganduje and Kwankwaso with supporters attacking each other in defences of their Political godfather’s positions.(New Telegraph)
