Ganduje Bids Farewell To All, Seeks Forgiveness

Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has said now that his tenure is coming to an end he is calling on all those he offended in the course of discharging his onerous responsibility as a governor to forgive all his shortcomings, stating that “on my part I forgive all those who wronged me directly or indirectly”

Ganduje’s tenure ends on May 29, 2023 when he would formally hand over the baton of leadership to Abba Yusuf, who emerged victorious at a keenly contested election between him and the incumbent deputy governor, Dr Nasir Yusuf Gawuna.

At a Ramadan lecture series at Al Furqan Juma’at Mosque located at Nasarawa GRA Kano, the governor said “forgive me for I have forgiven all”.

Ganduje in the farewell message said, “I have forgiven anyone who at one time disparaged my person, and my character for whatever reasons and on my part, I equally begged or seek for your forgiveness for all that I have done to you.”

He said the inspiration was drawn from the position of Islam, adding that “as espoused by the leader of this Mosque, forgiveness occupies a prime spot in our religion”.

Ganduje said, “My tenure as governor of Kano state has come to an end and this is a farewell greeting. I wish you all the best.

“For those who we have wronged, forgive us, on my part I have forgiven those who wronged me no matter the weight of the offence.”
