The Kano State Chairman, New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Hashimu Dungurawa, on Thursday, hit back at the National Chairman, All Progressive Congress, APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, describing him as a serial loser, who lost even at his polling unit in the 2023 general election despite series of promises to deliver the entire state to the party and President Bola Tinubu.
Dungurawa, while speaking to newsmen in Kano in reaction to recent comments by Ganduje, said the latter failed to deliver the state to Tinubu, the party’s governorship candidate in Kano, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna.
He said even Abba Umar Ganduje lost at their Rimingado, Dawakin-Tofa and Tofa Federal Constituency.
The NNPP chairman, who reminded Ganduje of his political trajectory, said he won previous elections in the state through the support of Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
“If Ganduje has forgotten, he is talking to his Political Master, who he served as deputy governor for eight years and same Kwankwaso made him representative of Lake Chad and also his Personal Secretary when he was Minister of Defense.
“The same Kwankwaso, after ensuring that he kept Ganduje closely helping him to survive political life, ensured that in 2015 he personally, despite all odds, made him governor in Kano.”
He added that, “it will amount to political betrayal for Ganduje to now have the guts to speak ill of Kwankwaso, because there has been a time when even Ganduje, in tears, said that he has nothing to repay Kwankwaso’s goodwill.”
Dungurawa challenged Ganduje on how many times he won elections on his own since 1999.
“What happened in the recent elections, when he clearly lost in his hometown, Ganduje, and where he couldn’t even win his own polling unit.
“If not Ganduje, who quickly forget recent realities, just this 2023, he cannot win Kano despite the fact that Kwankwaso came in with a new brand party.
“And not only his governorship candidate, even his own son he made to contest House of Representatives was defeated hands down by Kwankwaso. So what is he talking about?”
The Kano NNPP Chairman, said “the child’s play they did in the Elections Tribunal is giving him hopes to open his mouth any how; it will soon be overturned at the Appeal Court.
“Just because Ganduje managed his ways to become the National Chairman of APC, which would soon be taking over, he thinks Kwankwaso is his mates. Well time will surely show who is who,” Dungurawa boosted.
Recall that the APC National Chairman and former governor, Ganduje was while formally receiving the NNPP Bauchi State governorship candidate, Haliru Dauda Jika, into the party in Abuja, was quoted as describing Kwankwaso as a serial loser that would rather be a king in hell and servant in paradise.
