‘Divine intervention’ – Ganduje hints on reconciling with Kwankwaso

The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has hinted at reconciling with Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in the 2023 general election.

Ganduje said reconciling with Kwankwaso could happen through divine intervention.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, the APC national chairman said he was out to unify his Kano base because more people would join the party.

On having a good working relationship with Kwankwaso, Ganduje said, “Certainly, we share roots and lineage. A division occurred, and now (there is) a potential for reunification through divine intervention. What could be better?”

Ganduje and Kwankwaso have had a long-standing rivalry over who leads the political space in Kano State.

But there are indications that President Bola Tinubu is working to reconcile both politicians, and bring Kwankwaso back to the APC.

Confirming the reports, former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bahir Ahmad, had said it would be “game over” for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should Tinubu reconcile Ganduje and Kwankwaso.
