••APC Chairman Dismisses Galadima’s Political Relevance Claims, Citing Proven Track Record and Kano Achievements.
By Mohammed Ahmed, Kano.
Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has vehemently refuted claims by Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), who questioned his political relevance. Ganduje asserted that Galadima lacks the moral authority to challenge his political standing.
Galadima, in a recent statement, alleged that Ganduje’s current position as APC Chairman is solely attributed to President Bola Tinubu’s patronage, implying a lack of inherent political value.
In a sharp rebuttal issued through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Enlightenment, Oliver Okpara, Ganduje dismissed Galadima as “a failed politician with no political base.”
“His statement clearly portrays him as a mischievous personality, politically,” the statement declared.
“Ganduje is well known, tested and trusted, result-orientated technocrat and politician of high repute who successfully led Kano for two uninterrupted terms. He is a man with infallible proof of performance across Kano and beyond. His developmental projects are still littered across Kano state, a testament of his unbroken connection with the people. Ganduje is a grassroots politician with results to show. Where are Galadima’s results?”
Ganduje’s statement further emphasized the stability and growth of the APC under his leadership, contrasting it with the alleged internal strife within Galadima’s NNPP.
“Galadima should know that the APC ship under the leadership of Dr. Ganduje is sailing smoothly and the party has continued to wax stronger under him. The same cannot be said of Buba Galadima’s NNPP which has continued to suffer serious lacerations due to an intractable and untreatable factionalization,” the statement read.
This exchange follows Galadima’s earlier allegations on April 7th, where he claimed a plot was underway to destabilize Kano and instigate a federal government-imposed state of emergency. Speaking on AIT’s political program, “Jigsaw,” Galadima asserted that these machinations were being carried out without President Tinubu’s knowledge.
