Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has described his predecessor and former boss, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a “selfish” person.
Ganduje previously served as deputy governor twice between 1999 and 2003 and 2011 to 2015 under Kwankwaso.
“It is natural to be a bit selfish but I have never seen anyone as selfish as Kwankwaso,” Ganduje said on Wednesday while receiving to the All Progressives Congress (APC) some defecting members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“It was such that he imposed his whims and caprices on all and exploited (all) for his personal benefit, as against the collective interest of all.
“All of us seated here were with him in the past and we made him what he is politically but had to withdraw from his persistent self-conceit.
“We had initiated reconciliations in the past but Kwankwaso is not the repentant type, it is either his bid that is done or he destroys everything.”
The governor alleged that Kwankwaso cursed him severely when he extended a hand of fellowship to the opposition after the Supreme Court affirmed his victory in the March 9, 2019 governorship election.
The Herald can report that some of those that decamped are Kwankwaso’s former spokesperson, Binta Spikin; a zonal Woman Leader of the PDP in Kano, Aisha Kaita, former member, Kano State House of Assembly, Muhammad Isyaku Taraunu, and a Kwankwasiyya leader, Idris Bala.
