Ganduje and Kwankwaso
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has condemned Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso for saying he'll defeat President Muhammadu Buhari if given the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Kwankwaso, a bigwig of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), instructed veteran journalists Dele Momodu, that as a candidate of the opposition PDP, he would defeat Buhari.
Reacting in a assertion by his Commissioner of Information, Muhammad Garba, Ganduje mentioned the previous governor was a political light-weight who can't win an election in his ward and doesn't have what it takes to defeat Buhari within the subsequent election.
He mentioned Kwankwaso had since change into “a political fugitive who does not have the platform, the intellectual capability and mental ability to manage the affairs of Nigeria.”
Ganduje mentioned: “Senator Kwankwaso’s newest utterances have confirmed the truth that he's now a confused politician who's grabbing each alternative to relaunch himself again into relevance.
“For over three years, he has been sleeping within the Senate with out sponsoring even a invoice that may positively impression on the lives of Nigerians. This is a clear indication that he has nothing to supply. He is simply being boastful.
“For over three years, Kwankwaso has been within the Senate, he has not visited Kano Central, his senatorial district. He has not executed any tangible constituency mission for his individuals.
“Since then, he has not been round and we've got been right here in Kano taking part in the sport of politics the best way it must be finished. The good individuals of Kano are appreciating our modest achievements they usually have expressed confidence in us.
“Senator Kwankwaso’s dream to get the PDP presidential ticket stays a tall one that may by no means see the sunshine of the day as a result of these he's going to satisfy there are accustomed to his antics. They haven't forgotten in a hurry the position he performed in destroying the identical PDP.
“I am surprised that Kwankawso is now talking about people like Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, a man he persecuted and betrayed in many occasions. I am surprised he is talking about the PDP, a party he destroyed and betrayed many of the chieftains who are still there today to pay him back with his own coin.”
