Ganduje ready to welcome Kwankwaso to APC

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje has expressed readiness to receive Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso if he decides to join APC.

Kwankwaso is the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP) at the February 25th election.

Ganduje stated this during a media briefing at his residence in Abuja on Sunday.

He said, “Nobody will say Kwankwaso is not a good politician, at least he was a two-term Kano Governor, although, in disrupted tenures, he was Minister of Defence, even though he doesn’t know what is defense, and was once a Senator, even though he never said anything throughout his stay there.

But, if he is willing to decamp to APC, our door is open, especially now that someone from his state is the party chairman, it will be easier for him to lobby.”

When answering queries on why Kwankwaso was shut out from President Bola Tinubu’s list of ministerial nominees, Ganduje cited that the NNPP candidate was never given such promise in the first place.

Abdullahi Ganduje said, “It is true that President Tinubu has promised to run a unity government, and he stood by his words. Nyesom Wike, from PDP, is now a Ministerial nominee. But he [Kwankwaso] is the one who said he will be given appointment initially, and not the President himself”.

The former governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje was appointed as the  National Chairman of the ruling party on Thursday, August 3.
