APC Chairman Ganduje mocks Kwankwaso over FCT ministerial snub (VIDEO)

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the last general elections, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has come under fire from the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.

Ganduje, in a viral video on Monday, claimed Kwankwaso supported the contentious demolition of buildings in Kano State. Ganduje spoke in Hausa language to some of his loyalists and party supporters from Kano State, who paid a courtesy visit to the secretariat.

In the two-minute, 28-second video, Ganduje disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was smart enough to see through Kwankwaso’s desperation to become the next Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

The immediate past governor of Kano added that the random demolition of buildings approved by his administration was the only way he and his political godson (Kano governor, Abba Yusuf) could express their frustration under the guise of sanitising Kano’s master plan.

He declared that Kwakwanso wanted the FCT minister position and noted that he doesn’t know the Kano state’s master plan.

“All you will hear is, ‘We will reset the Kano master plan. We have promised Kano people that we will demolish houses even if they are 1,000-storey buildings.’ Look, if an illiterate person does not know he is one, he is certainly blind. That is what befell him,” Ganduje mocked.

Politics Nigeria sighted the controversial video clip on social media, and it has started generating debate among supporters of both candidates.

Politics Nigeria also understands that prior to the announcement of the ministerial nominees, there were high predictions that Kwankwaso, Nyesom Wike, and some party chieftains from the opposition would feature prominently in Tinubu’s proposed government of national unity.

While Wike and a few others were shortlisted, Kwankwaso was not.

Watch the video below:
