Kwankwaso Wasn’t Promised ‘Cabinet Position’… I Won’t Stop Him From ‘Returning’ To APC-Ganduje
APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has submitted that he would be ready to receive his former political godfather, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso into the ruling party if he takes a decision to leave his party, the NNPP, for APC.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Ganduje said this while talking to journalists in Kano during the weekend.
Though Ganduje stated readiness to welcome Kwankwaso with open arms if he decides to return to the party, he however had his submissions spiced with innuendos.
‘Nobody will say Kwankwaso is not a good politician, at least he was a two-term governor of Kano state, although, in disrupted tenures, he was Minister of Defence, even though he doesn’t know what is defense, and he 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’ he said.
Kwankwaso was one of the five sitting governors that left the PDP for APC in November 2013. The former Kano state governor returned to the PDP ahead of the 2019 General Election and also left the party for NNPP ahead of the 2023 General Election.
Asked why Kwankwaso was not among President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet nominees, Ganduje said no one promised the former Defence minister that he would enjoy such a privilege.
‘It is true that President Tinubu has promised to run a unity government, and he kept his word. 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’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
