Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has referred to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, as a liability.
He stated that Ganduje is treacherous and that President Bola Tinubu would lose his second term bid in 2027 because of him.
Recall that Ganduje, on Wednesday, described Kwankwaso as a serial loser.
Speaking in Abuja at the party’s national secretariat while hosting the NNPP governorship candidate in the 2023 election, Haliru Dauda Jika, who formally defected to the APC, Ganduje said Kwankwaso is a selfish individual who specializes in deceiving people and is always first to jump boat when he doesn’t get what he wants.
Reacting to this, NNPP’s National Publicity Secretary, Yakubu Shendam, in a statement, said Ganduje is a liability to the APC and cannot win the 2027 election for Tinubu.
With all the alleged scandals surrounding Ganduje, the party said he should not be taken seriously by any right-thinking Nigerian, stressing that APC is already a dead party with him as the head.
NNPP stated that Ganduje has never won any election in his entire life except the one Kwankwaso delivered for him as governor in 2015 on a platter of gold.
The party warned that APC’s attempt to take Kano through the back door, like in 2019, will be resisted by the good people of Kano and judges of good conscience.
The statement reads, “The immediate past governor of Kano State has done irreparable damage, and he will not be able to deliver Tinubu and APC in 2027. With Ganduje as head, APC is already a dead party.
“Take it or leave it, Ganduje is a liability to Tinubu, a liability to his party APC and a liability to the country, and I can bet that with Ganduje as the National Chairman, President Bola Tinubu is going to lose the 2027 presidential election because Nigerians will not vote for him.
“Tinubu will regret allowing Nigerians to see him through the face of Ganduje for working closely with a treacherous character.
“Let me remind Ganduje that after losing the governorship primary, Sen. Kwankwaso picked him as his running mate in 2003, SA to the Minister of Defense, ES Chad Basin Development Commission and therein, he was picked again as his running mate. When Kwankwaso successfully ended his second term, he graciously picked him and handed over to him in 2015, yet, he betrayed him and today, no governor trusts his deputy governor to become governor but this we believe will be his last election he will ever contest and win.
“Every Nigerian knows the story behind the only election he claimed to have won in 2019. It was yet, another election he lost woefully.”
