Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor of Kano State, on Monday night challenged his predecessor and New Nigeria Peoples Party presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to host a rally in the state to test his popularity.
Ganduje, during a live appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, defended the high turnout of supporters at Sunday’s Kano rally in favour of Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate.
In the programme which was monitored by our correspondent, Ganduje said, “Kwankwaso is a presidential candidate, there is no doubt about that. But equally, we are on the ground and many of his people are now in our political party.Information Guide Nigeria

“So if Kwankwaso thinks that he can win the party, let him hold a march like this (referring to the rally held in Kano) and compare what will happen if he can do so.”
“Pertaining to Shekarau, we won our election without Shekarau. Later, we invited him to our party and he decided to leave the party for Kwankwaso’s party (NNPP).
“Later on, he left that party for Peoples Democratic Party where he was originally. So, you can see that these are nomads in politics. You expect that people who run from one party to another will lose followers.
The Governor stated that the issues highlighted by Alhassan Ado-Doguwa earlier this month have been handled.
Ado-Doguwa alleged that although Ganduje had administered the state well, those to whom he delegated the state’s party affairs were discriminating against faithful party members, causing many to leave the party.
However, Ganduje stated that the lawmaker’s issues had been settled, putting them to rest.
“Having internal wranglings in a party is not new. Honourable Alhassan Ado-Doguwa and our former commissioner for local government, who is now the deputy governorship candidate, had a misunderstanding.
“But we sat down under my chairmanship and everything is put in order now. Even today, they were together, they even took pictures together and issued a press release together. So, everything is normal within our party now,” he added.JAMB Result
