NNPP Dares Ganduje To Attack Kwankwaso

Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Osun State, Dr. Tosin Odeyemi has described as uncalled for, the alleged threat by the former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje to slap his predecessor, Engr. Rabiu Kwankwaso if he had met him at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Odeyemi however dared Ganduje to carry out his threat whenever he saw Kwankwaso, adding that the former governor would realise the hard way that Nigeria is no more an indiscipline country where people behave as they like. 

The long feud between Kwankwaso and Ganduje resurfaced in the course of the recent elections and has culminated in the recent demolition exercise embarked upon by the new administration. Both former governors were invited to the Villa last week over the impasse in the state.

While speaking with journalists recently Ganduje at the presidential villa, he said he would have slapped Kwankwaso if he saw him.

Reacting however, Odeyemi who condemned the statement credited to Ganduje wondered why the rising profile of Kwankwaso was of concern to Ganduje.

He noted that whenever the immediate Kano state governor heard or read that Kwankwaso is meeting Tinubu, he will be jittery and starts running helter skelter. 

Odeyemi stressed that for a former governor to have threatened to ‘slap’ an elderly man, it shows how horrible he directed the affairs of the state, not to talk of number of political hooliganism he must have encouraged. 

“How could a whole former governor made such statement when he was not drunk? Did he think we are still in the era where any indiscipline act can go unchallenged in Nigeria? 

“Engr. Rabiu Kwankwaso is our pride, we don’t joke with him, he’s not a leader anybody can embarrass, if he has problem with Governor Yusuf he should go and settle it at home, he should leave our leader out of it. 

“Ganduje should go and rest. He should start building political empire as being done by our leader, Engr. Kwankwaso. And if he feels he want to try the patience of NNPP family in Nigeria, he should go ahead with his threat. A word is enough for him if he is wise.”
