Former APC National Chairman and ex-Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has warned that if Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso and his followers join the All Progressives Congress, they will be welcomed “as madmen who returned to their vomit.”
Ganduje also criticized Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, describing their politics as inconsistent and their governance as “directionless.”
Speaking at an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Kano on Thursday—the first since leaving office—Ganduje dismissed rumours of Kwankwaso’s possible defection, saying the senator lacks the consistency to return after repeatedly mocking the party.
“We’ve heard the rumours, but we don’t take them seriously. Kwankwaso once said only a madman would join APC. He even mocked President Tinubu, claiming he only developed Lagos. Now they want to come back. If they do, we’ll welcome them as madmen who swallowed their vomit,” Ganduje said.
On reconciliation with Kwankwaso and former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, Ganduje said it could happen, noting that their experience could guide the current administration if unity became necessary.
Turning to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Ganduje slammed his administration as a “government of vendetta and cluelessness,” accusing it of wasting resources and lacking governance capacity.
“When I took office, I didn’t waste time probing my predecessor. Governance doesn’t end with one administration. But Abba Yusuf began his tenure with probes. What have they achieved? They’ve received more funds in six months than my government saw in eight years, yet there’s no tangible progress,” he said.
He added, “This government is clumsy and confused, spending recklessly on projects with no value for money. It’s like comparing a messenger to a permanent secretary.”
On his removal as APC National Chairman, Ganduje said it was a matter of zoning and political rotation. “The President did not wrong me. Leadership is by God’s will; He gives it to whom He wants,” he stated.
Ganduje also rejected claims that APC was shrinking, insisting the party remains Nigeria’s largest political platform despite some defections.
As of press time, neither Kwankwaso nor Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has responded to Ganduje’s remarks.
