Why Ex Gov Kwankwaso Left APC For PDP, Gov Ganduje Reveals

Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Gov Umar Ganduje

Kano state Governor,  Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje has revealed why his predecessor, Senator Rab’u Musa Kwankwaso left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking today, Friday, while receiving Alhaji Ibrahim Na-Kaduna, chairman of the PDP from Yalwa Ward in Dala Local Government Area of the State, Governor Ganduje said that Kwankwaso gave as condition for returning to the APC, support of his candidacy for the Presidency.

“We told him point-blank that as far as we are concerned, there is no vacancy in the Villa. We made him to understand vividly clear that we could not support any other candidate apart from President Muhammadu Buhari.”

“Kwankwaso was only busy doing what he thought were ways to get to President Muhammadu Buhari to tell him that he wanted to stage a comeback.

“But when he saw the handwriting on the wall clearly, he retreated. This is so because we told our President not to take any serious action and not to even entertain him, until after the general elections.

“If we accept him before elections, he could beat his chest at the end of it and boast that he made the victory possible. We now said let him rejoin when election is over. That is after the victory come calling.

“This effort of rescuing Kwankwasiyya followers, which is tagged ‘Operation Tsamar Nama’ is designed to, specifically, help those followers understand the true picture of the predicament they are in. So we are welcoming you for this giant step you have just taken.”

Na-Kaduna, who was presented to Ganduje by member representing Dala local Government Area in the State House of Assembly, Babangida Yakudima, lamented how Kwankwaso has been insensitive to the plight of his followers.

“Kwankwaso is only interested in putting his followers to many troubles and political crises.

“When such things happen, before you know it, he takes to his heel. How can such a person be a leader?

“At a point in time, the North Central Senatorial candidate in PDP, Madakin Gini, had wanted to run away from the Kwankwasiyya group.

“Plans were on top gear, but all of a sudden, we just heard that he made a U-turn. That he is still with Kwankwaso.”
