The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has condemned the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, over why Kwankwaso lost out in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.

Ganduje had said Kwankwaso was snubbed as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), because President Tinubu was smart enough to see through his desperation.

Ganduje claimed Kwankwaso supported the contentious demolition of buildings approved by his administration in Kano under the guise of sanitising Kano’s master plan.

Kwankwaso spoke in Hausa on Monday when he received some of his loyalists and party supporters from Kano State who paid him a courtesy visit at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

But in a chat with The Punch, the spokesperson for the NNPP Presidential Campaign Council, Ladipo Johnson, stated that Ganduje is merely seeking relevance.

Johnson said Kwankwaso is not going to waste his time on Ganduje because he is inconsequential and does not matter.

He said: “Does anyone really still listen to what Ganduje says? The fact that he is the APC national chairman doesn’t mean that he is a rational human being. That is all I have to say.

“We are not going to waste our time on somebody who is inconsequential, no matter what the APC thinks they are doing. It is as simple as that.”
