The ancient city of Kano is set to boil, as Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, clashed with the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, over a purported statement credited to him (Tinubu)
While mentioning the name of the United States of America President, Donald Trump, ahead of 2019, Tinubu had in a statement thrown his weight behind the second term bid of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, of Kano State, while tactically disparaging Kwankwaso, who was the former Governor of the State.
Tinubu, while visiting to commiserate with Ganduje on the death of Maitama Sule Kano, has said: “Your Excellency, you are staying for eight years, even as some people are advocating 12 years. But, if you put a comma in any line of the Constitution, it becomes an amendment. So, I endorse eight years.
“We are for it with all our body and soul, because you are a great man, and a very loyal party man. One thing that we must note in Ganduje, is that he is one of the most straightforward and dependable individuals.
“When you agree on something, or in the words of Donald Trump, “do a deal with him”, you can go to sleep, because you would be the one to break that accord, not him. You have an understanding of family and friendship.”
In swift reaction however, Kwankwaso through the leader of Kwankwasiyya Movement, Abdulsalam Aminu, fired back at Tinubu.
Aminu, who was a former Commissioner for Home Affairs, in Kwankwaso’s government, said the movement would respond formally to Tinubu’s comments.
He said: “We heard about Tinubu’s comment from the media, but we were not surprised, neither are we disturbed. But I can assure you that we would respond to the statement in due course.”
Post-Nigeria could recall, that Kwankwaso had been having a running battle with the incumbent Governor of Kano State, Ganduje.
