‘You can’t look me in the face’ - Kwankwaso replies ex-gov Ganduje’s slap

Former Kano State Governor and Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has dared former Kano Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

The former presidential hopeful dismissed the assault threats made by the former governor, Ganduje, The Punch reported.

Shortly after Ganduje visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa on Friday evening, June 9, the ex-governor while addressing State House correspondents stated that he would have slapped Kwankwaso had they met at Aso Rock, Abuja, Channels TV reported.

Ganduje’s statement is coming following the recent demolition of several buildings in Kano state by the Abba Yusuf-led administration, a move he accused his predecessor, Kwankwaso, of masterminding.

Addressing the assault threat, Kwankwaso said Ganduje would never dare make such an attempt, adding that the former governor is his ‘boy’ politically, Daily Independent report added.

Speaking to BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso said; “I heard that he [Ganduje] said he would’ve slapped me, but I’m here. He was just confused. These are all my boys politically.

They can’t even look at me straight in the face if we meet.”

Kwankwaso also disclosed plans to work with President Bola Tinubu, adding that Tinubu already offered him an appointment but they were yet to reach a definitive conclusion.

Former governor of Kano State Rabiu Kwankwaso has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu summoned him over the ongoing demolition in Kano State.

Kwankwaso made a shocking revelation that he was forcefully exiled from Kano State by the immediate past governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Kwankwaso and Ganduje have been in a heated feud for almost a decade and were once allies when the latter deputised the former between 2011 to 2015.
