Governor of Kano state, Umar Ganduje has reignited attacks on his former friend and political ally, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Newsflash247 learned that while speaking at a flag off event for All Progressives Congress (APC) campaigns for Kano Central at Kano Pillars Stadium in Sabon Gari, Kano, Ganduje described Kwankwaso as ‘Politically Crippled’.

He accused Kwankwaso of political insensitivity, vowing to join forces with the people of Kano Central to replace him with Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau.

He said: “Kwankwaso’s three and half years at the Senate have brought no political dividends to the people of Kano Central because the Senator has turned deaf ears to the cries of his people and made no positive contributions to activities of the senate. He is now deaf, dumb and blind and we promise you to replace him with a better candidate in 2019.”

He pointed that there was a need for the people of Kano state to replace him with Ibrahim Shekarau whom he described as a man of the people, whose political achievements over the years exceed those of Kwankwaso.

Similarly, Idris Danbazzau, a former Commissioner for Special Duties during Kwankwaso’s regime, renounced his membership of the Kwankwasiya movement alongside six others, at the political rally.

Danbazau blamed Kwankwaso’s selfish interest and autocratic nature for his decision to join APC, even as he accused the Senator of destroying virtually everything they worked for to build the Kwankwasiya faction of the APC.
