Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has chided his former political leader, Rabiu Kwankwanso as a selfish political leader who thrives on the sweat of his political followers.

Governor Ganduje spoke when receiving the immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Kano State, Sulaiman Bichi into the All Progressives Congress, APC in Government House, Kano on Wednesday night. The governor spoke as the extent of the havoc of the defection to Kwankwanso became more apparent.

Among the defectors were Kwankwanso’s spokeswoman, Hajiya Binta Spikin and other leading associates of the former governor and senator.

Receiving Bichi and several leaders of the Kwankwansiya Movement into the party, Ganduje said:

“It is natural to be a bit selfish but I have never seen anyone as selfish as Kwankwaso. It was such that he imposed his whims on all and exploit them for his personal benefit as against the collective interest of all” Ganduje stated.

“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 have initiated reconciliations in the past but Kwankwaso is not the repentant type, it is either his bid that is done or he destroys everything.”

Explaining why he left the PDP, Bichi said that they heeded the calls of President Muhammadu Buhari and that of Ganduje to join in the task of nation building saying:

“Following a call by the president to join hands to move the nation forward and the call by the Kano Governor to come and help build a greater Kano, it has become pertinent for us to come and contribute our quota towards the development of the state.”

“We have been forced to remain as opposition for the past 20 years following Kwankwaso even while we were in power, a situation that has not yielded anything good and progressive.

“We need a polity where progress and development of the state is ahead of personal whims and desires and so we have to cut that trend of opposition to set the state along the right track of development just like it is in Lagos state.

“Your Excellency, all of us you see here joining the APC have decided after due consultation to join in the development of the state. Almost everyone that was in the Kwankwasiyya is with us here except for very few and those who other commitments could not allow them to come.

“Among us here are former commissioners, former advisers and others, all of who you have known for long. If we continue along the path of progressive governance, Kano will surely be ahead of other states in the country and we are all here to contribute our quota” Bichi stated. 

Earlier in his opening remarks, the chairman of the state chapter of the APC, Abdullahi Abbas pronounced Kwankwasiyya as dead in Kano given the high level defections.

“Your Excellency, it is a known fact that Kwankwasiyya was founded by the two of you seated here before us, you and Rabiu Bichi, you the the mother and father of Kwankwasiyya. Now that you have both left it, there is nothing left of Kwankwasiyya again.

“Never assume that Bichi decamped because their party had lost in the Supreme Court, is not true, we have been with him for long.”
