A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba Galadima, on Monday accused the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, of ridiculing President Bola Tinubu.
Galadima said the manner in which Ganduje announced NNPP 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso’s defection to the APC, ridiculed Tinubu.
Galadima was reacting to Ganduje’s remark that he would be Kwankwaso’s grandfather if he decamps to the APC.

This is coming on the heels of reports that Tinubu was planning to reconcile Ganduje and Kwankwaso, and possibly pull him back to the APC.
However, Galadima said Ganduje never wanted to reconcile with Kwankwaso despite the President’s alleged intention.
Speaking on Arise TV, Galadima said: “Ganduje is wise by half, he ridiculed the President by going to the press on Kwankwaso joining the APC.
“Even if that is what the President told him to do, he knows the best way to go about it.
“Ganduje never wanted to reconcile with Kwankwaso and never wanted him to join the APC, he is just fooling the President to scare Kwankwaso away.
“The reconciliation of Ganduje and Kwankwaso will be in the interest of the state because it will allow the governor do his work.”
