Ganduje says Kwankwaso, Yusuf will be welcomed back to APC like madmen returning to vomit
Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that if Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and their followers defect to the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), they would be welcomed as “madmen who returned to their vomit.” Ganduje mocked the idea of Kwankwaso rejoining APC, pointing out Kwankwaso’s previous ridicule of the party and President Tinubu. He emphasized Kwankwaso’s inconsistency in politics and expressed skepticism about the sincerity of such defections.Ganduje also criticized Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration, describing it as “directionless” and accused it of recklessly wasting resources and lacking governance capacity. Nonetheless, Ganduje mentioned that reconciliation with Kwankwaso and former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau was not impossible due to their governance experience, which could help guide the current administration if unity is necessary.In summary, while Ganduje’s remarks were sharp and dismissive of the defections as inconsistent political moves, he did not entirely rule out the potential for political reconciliation within the APC framework if deemed necessary.
Ganduje, who is immediate past Governor of Kano State criticized Kwankwaso for lacking consistency, noting that Kwankwaso had repeatedly ridiculed the APC and even once said only a madman would join the party.
Ganduje’s comments imply skepticism about Kwankwaso’s return to the ruling party given his previous negative stance toward it.
Ganduje’s sharp disapproval of Kwankwaso’s political moves and his dismissive attitude toward the possibility of Kwankwaso rejoining the APC without conditions.
“We too have heard these rumours, but we don’t take them seriously. In democracy, there’s little difference between a fake cleric and a thief. Kwankwaso once said only a madman would join APC.
“He even mocked President Tinubu when he was contesting, claiming Tinubu only developed Lagos. Now they want to return. If they come, we’ll welcome them as ‘madmen who swallowed their vomit,’” Ganduje said.
