I Will Be Your Grandfather When You Join APC-Ganduje Tells Kwankwaso

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has stated that he would become the “grandfather” of Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP)

Ganduje, addressing  APC supporters in Kano, stressed that holding an APC membership card means being a follower and subordinate to the national leader.

Addressing APC supporters in Kano, Ganduje said: “If you are an APC membership card holder, you are a subordinate and follower of the national leader.

“If you defect to APC today, you are our subordinate and follower. It is important for you to note this; a child of the household and a stranger are all under the care of the head of the house

“One who has what to offer is the one who welcomes others. One that doesn’t have anything to offer is the one looking for where to enter. Lend me your ears, I want to tell you a story.

“36 states and Abuja wherever I go I am the King, I am the Sheikh, I am Modibbo, I am Alanguburo. So, same thing here at home.

“We are calling on the NNPP to pack those perishable fruits where they will be preserved in a fridge so that they will not ‘get spoiled’ or rotten

“As I told you people, whoever you are and your status in the party even if you are ‘Jagora’ (leader) once you come to APC then your grandfather is here!”

Kwankwaso is known as “Jagora” by Kwankwasiyya members in Kano and across the country.

Reports indicate that President Bola Tinubu is making efforts to reconcile Ganduje and Kwankwaso, as part of preparations for the 2027 presidential election.

Kanyi Daily recalls that Abdullahi Ganduje said that politicians, not the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), are accountable for the electoral violence disrupting the peaceful conduct of elections in Nigeria
