You can’t question my electoral value — I governed Kano twice, Ganduje tells Buba Galadima
Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Buba Galadima has no moral standing to question his political relevance.
On Thursday, Galadima, chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), said Ganduje has no political value and owes his current position solely to President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement issued by Oliver Okpara, his senior special assistant on public enlightenment, Ganduje described Galadima as “a failed politician with no political base”.
“His statement clearly portrays him as a mischievous personality, politically,” the statement reads.

“Ganduje is well known, tested and trusted, result-orientated technocrat and politician of high repute who successfully led Kano for two uninterrupted terms.
“He is a man with infallible proof of performance across Kano and beyond.
“His developmental projects are still littered across Kano state, a testament of his unbroken connection with the people.
“Ganduje is a grassroots politician with results to show. Where are Galadima’s results?
“Galadima should know that the APC ship under the leadership of Dr. Ganduje is sailing smoothly and the party has continued to wax stronger under him.
“The same cannot be said of Buba Galadima’s NNPP which has continued to suffer serious lacerations due to an intractable and untreatable factionalization.”
On April 7, Galadima alleged that there was a plot by some people to destabilise Kano and force the federal government to declare emergency rule in the state.
Speaking on Jigsaw, a political programme aired on AIT, Galadima said those behind the plot were hatching it without Tinubu’s knowledge.
