We’re unruffled by senators’ defection – Ganduje

The defection of the former governor of Kano state, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso alongside other senators and some members of the House of Representatives, to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has been described by the governor of Kano state, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, as not being enough a reason to cause havoc to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to newsmen at the Government House over the weekend, Ganduje affirmed that he was not scared by their exit and that the defection doesn’t constitute any havoc to the APC at all levels, saying people should keep an eye on what will happen during the elections.
“Our dear President has been doing the needful in terms of developing the nation, coupled with his efforts in efficient service delivery.
Good governance at its peak.
The war against corruption is successfully being waged,” he added.
The governor said Kwankwaso’s intention was to vie for presidency under the APC, but when it appeared to him in black and white that there was no vacancy in the Villa, he now decided to leave on his own.
While believing that Kwankwaso is entitled to his own political choice, Ganduje challenged that, “When he could secure a presidential ticket from the party he cross carpets, then he should wait and see how we can slug it out with him.
He will fully understand how popular and loveable President Muhammadu Buhari is.” “Kano will give more votes to our President than what he got in 2015 election.
From the 2015 election to date, those who could not vote because of age limit are now grown up, meaning they will now be eligible to vote.
Hence, Buhari stands the chance to get 5 million votes from Kano,” Ganduje concluded.
