Kano demolition: I could have slapped Kwankwaso if I met him at Aso Rock, says Ganduje
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the immediate past governor of Kano State on Friday, declared that he could have slapped his predecessor, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, if he met him at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The Informant247 had reported that Kwankwaso was at Aso Villa today to meet with President Bola Tinubu.
Gamduje, while briefing the newsmen after a meeting with Tinubu on the security situation in Kano State following the demolition exercise embarked upon by the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, expressed his saddness over the development.
He said, “I know he is in the building but we have not met. Probably if we met, maybe I could have slapped him.”
Ganduje alleged that the demolition exercise by Governor Yusuf Abba Kabir was done without carrying out proper investigation or giving due notice in line with the provisions of Land Use Act.
The former governor said he spoke at length on the issue while reporting the matter to the president and had petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, with video evidence of the looting and vandalisation that trailed the demolition.
He said the governor who he described as a “stooge” of Kwankwaso was no longer happy because of the condemnation that greeted the move.
