Former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, has criticized the urging by All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, for Governor Abba Yusuf and New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join APC.
Shekarau labeled the move as unnecessary and emphasized the need for peaceful coexistence in Kano State. Ganduje had extended the invitation during a recent stakeholders’ meeting.
In response, Shekarau stated, “Ganduje came to Kano and invited the governor, Kwankwaso, and others to come and gather in APC. For me, that is not necessary. What he should have done was to call on the people of Kano to stay peaceful, regardless of who is leading, since the case is over.”
He continued, “Whether you insult them or not, whether they know how to do it or not, they are the ones in power. Whatever it is, it will come to pass. Eight years is just like tomorrow. I have done eight years and added 12 to 13 years ahead. Wherever we are, if we do not see or feel justice will be served on us, we leave. That is the basis of leadership or association.”
