Kwankwaso Replies Tinubu, Says Ganduje Has already Lost 2019 Election


Image result for tinubuFormer Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has told Asiwaju Bola Tinubu that the incumbent Governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has already lost the 2019 election.

Kwankwaso who is the Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District today, through his former Commissioner of State Affairs, Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, reacted over the recent endorsement of Ganduje for second term in 2019 by Tinubu who visited Kano for condolence of Maitama Sule’s death.

According to him, "We don’t want to join issue with Asiwaju but what I will say is that he came straight from the airport to the government house, he did not know what is happening in the rural areas or in the entire state.

"We know Asiwaju to be an honest person but if he had known the situation in Kano, he would perhaps be restrained completely from that statement.

"Had it been Asiwaju known the feelings of the people of Kano, he would have known that the governor had loss 2019 already."

Gwarzo added that the governor has lost the battle and the people of Kano are also ready to disown him.

"If Tinubu had carefully observed the political trend in the state, he would have drawn conclusion that Ganduje has distanced himself from the people; he deviated from the Kwankwsiyya foundation, principles and ideology which were the basic fundamentals he was elected as governor for. He abandoned the promises he made to the people of Kano.

"If you visit the business community in Kwari, Sabon Gari, Singa and other markets place, all the people are tired and frustrated by the government policies. You will record that there were fire outbreaks in some markets in Kano, till date, not a single kobo was given to the traders even the monies donated to them were nowhere to be found."

He added: "Look at the case of tuition fee, the parents are not happy with the level of things. The governor inherited free education, free feeding of our pupils in public primary schools, he reversed the policies. Imaging the acute water situation in Kano, you will agree with me it has never been this bad, and we don’t know how the people will cope."

Gwarzo said: “ Like I said, I don’t want to join issue with Tinubu, but I want to believe he has not conducted any research to find out the popularity of the governor, perhaps the assessment was only based on face value."
