Abdullahi Ganduje, the Governor
of Kano state, on Friday promised to receive his predecessor and political
rival, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, if he decides to return to the All
Progressive Congress (APC) after the elections.
However, Ganduje made it clear
that it would only be after the 2019 elections, so Kwankwaso does not brag that
he influenced APC’s victory.
The Governor stated this while
receiving Alhaji Ibrahim Na-Kaduna, chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) from Yalwa Ward in Dala Local Government, where Ali Sani Madakin Gini,
PDP’s Kano Central Senatorial candidate hails from.
“In APC, we take all as human
beings. We treat them with all manner of dignity and respect.
“That is why we are doing our
best to woo new entrants into our fold. Even him (Kwankwaso) we wanted him to
come and rejoin our party.
“When he was planning to come
back, he came with a condition that we must support his candidate for the
presidency.
“We told him point-blank that as
far as we are concerned there is no vacancy in the Villa.
“We made him understand vividly
clear that we could not support any other candidature apart from that of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Kwankwaso was only busy doing
what he thought were ways to get to President Muhammadu Buhari to tell him that
he wanted to stage a comeback.
“But when he saw the handwriting
on the wall clearly, he retreated. This is so because we told our President not
to take any serious action and not to even entertain him, until after the
general elections.
“If we accept him before
elections, he could beat his chest at the end of it and boast that he made the
victory possible.
“We now said let him rejoin when
election is over. That is after the victory come calling,” Ganduje said.
