The political rift between Kano political big wigs, Kwankwaso and Ganduje has finally ended after a resolution in the capital of the country.
Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
After hours of deliberations, the former Governor, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje have agreed to work towards a final resolution of the crisis on Wednesday, March 23, 2016.
According to reports, the rift between the governor and senator started just five months after Kwankwaso handed over power to Ganduje, on account of disagreements over cabinet appointments. The Kwankwaso camp accused Ganduje of shutting out their men.
The last straw was after senator Kwankwaso paid a condolence visit to the governor over the death of his mother in Kano. According to reports, Kwankwaso allegedly mobilized political thugs who stormed Ganduje town, brandishing all sorts of dangerous weapons and chanting anti-Ganduje slogans, thereby politicizing the condolence.
This caused Kano State APC to release a statement saying, "President Muhammadu Buhari, and our leader in Kano is Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. This is the stand of the APC in Kano.”
In favour of peace and prosperity, the Governor and his predecessor agree to put aside their diffeences and to work together for the good of the state.
