Ibrahim Shekarau, the former governor of Kano State, has taken issue with the immediate past governor of the state and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, over the invitation extended to Governor Abba Yusuf and the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join the APC.
In a recent stakeholders’ meeting, Ganduje publicly urged Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf to switch allegiance from NNPP to APC.
Responding to this, Shekarau stated that Ganduje should have focused on promoting peaceful coexistence in Kano State.
A statement released by Shekarau emphasized: “My brother, Ganduje came to Kano and invited the governor, Kwankwaso, and others to come and gather in APC. For me, that is not necessary.
“What he should have done was to call on the people of Kano to stay peaceful, regardless of who is leading, since the case is over.
“Whether you insult them or not, whether they know how to do it or not, they are the ones in power. Whatever it is, it will come to pass. Eight years is just like tomorrow.
“I have done eight years and added 12 to 13 years ahead. Wherever we are, if we do not see or feel justice will be served on us, we leave. That is the basis of leadership or association.”
