Tinubu has forgotten about us because we don't have a government, says Governor Ganduje
The meeting between the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the NNPP continues to stir up controversy among the ruling APC in Kano State.
Focus News Hausa source, Aminiya reported how Tinubu and Kwankwaso had a four-hour meeting in France, where they discussed many issues including the possibility of giving Kwankwaso a position in Tinubu's government.
Responding, Abdulmajid Dan Bilki Commander, a leader of the APC party in Kano, said Tinubu should not give Kwankwaso any position, even if it is an envoy.
"We in North West do not welcome Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to our APC party. We do not agree with Bola Tinubu's idea to give him any position even if he is a member of our party.
"If Tinubu ignores our petition and appoints Kwankwaso, we will disrupt the APC party in the North as a whole and withdraw our support for him," said Commander.
Shortly after the Commander made this statement, a recorded telephone call between Ganduje and Ibrahim Masari, the former vice-presidential candidate of the APC party, was leaked.
In the audio recording, the governor was heard crying about the injustice done to him by the President in his meeting with Kwankwaso.
Ganduje said that although Ibrahim Masari told him about the possibility of holding such an event, there was nothing he could do about it.
"But at that time, you should have talked to him (Tinubu). You can call him and talk to him," said Masari.
The governor was heard saying, "What can I say to him?" Now he (Tinubu) is looking at Kwankwaso as a solution for us? No problem. Because we don't have a government? And because of him (Tinubu) we lost the government.
"Even if he is going to meet him (Kwankwaso), he should also call us, even if she is not happy."
Ibrahim Masari, who is Tinubu's right-hand man, was heard calming Ganduje and asking him not to get angry until he visits Tinubu on Thursday and hears from him.
"And all these things that are happening are from God. And the calculation he is doing is not even correct... As for this man, how did he end up with Jonathan?" said Ganduje.
Aminiya gathered that the governor left Kano for Abuja on Friday evening and will hopefully meet with Masari at the weekend before the former governor meets with the president-elect, who will return from abroad soon.
When contacted, the Governor's Publicity Secretary, Abba Anwar, said he was not authorized to speak on the matter.
However, he did not deny or confirm the truth of the interview. An investigation by Aminiya found that the recorded voice was not copied.
