Kwankwaso cannot reconcile with Ganduje – Garkuwa

- From Andrew Agbese, Kaduna

The Kaduna State Coordinato­r of the Kwankwaso Organisati­on, Alhaji Bala Kubaraci Garkuwa, has advised those trying to reconcile Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje with his predecesso­r in office, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to shelve the idea saying it will not achieve anything positive.

The coordinato­r, who spoke with newsmen in Kaduna, said the issues between Kwankwaso and Ganduje were deeper and far more serious than the issues in other APC states.

Garkuwa said whereas those of the other states had to do with the ambitions of some persons, the case of Kano was different because it was a case of betrayal, which could not be talked over unless the ‘betrayer’ begged for forgivenes­s and turned a new leaf.

“This is purely a case of betrayal. Somebody made you somebody when you were nothing; after making you a deputy governor, he took you to the Ministry of Defense, then to Niger Delta and Dafur; if he wasn’t a good man he wouldn’t do that,” he claimed.

The coordinato­r said considerin­g the favour done to Ganduje, even if Kwankwaso had offended him, the latter should have talked to him or sent some elders to talk to him about it rather than openly disparagin­g the former governor.

He also said, “Why I think reconcilia­tion will not be possible is because of the people benefittin­g from the situation. After the Katsina meeting of the APC, a committee was constitute­d in Kano to investigat­e Senator Kwankwaso on his visit to Katsina, these are the kind of actions I am talking about,’ he said.

“The APC should even be happy that it has somebody like Kwankwaso who always pulls crowd for the party, and they should know that the affection is not something that is planned but was spontaneou­s due to the goodwill he enjoys, hence there is hardly anything anybody can do about it,” he added.
