Atiku, Ganduje Plotting to Float New Party with PDP’s Markarfi – Kwankwaso Talks on 2019 Elections

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and the incumbent governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje, have been fingered to be plotting to float a new party ahead of the 2019 elections.

In a statement issued by Suleiman Bichi, the former secretary to the Kano state government unbehalf former governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, alleged that former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and Abdullahi Ganduje, the incumbent governor of Kano, are plotting to float a new party ahead of the 2019 elections.

Kwankwaso in the statement, also alleged that both men, who are top chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), have been “hobnobbing” with the Ahmed Makarfi faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), adding that Ganduje had never hidden his disdain for the leadership style of the APC, but has been marking time.

“It has been brought to our attention that Governor Ganduje of Kano state has been working with the Makarfi faction of the PDP and other politicians of northern extraction, and from what we know, they are aspiring to float a new party, the APDP.

“It is a well-known fact that Governor Ganduje is not happy with the APC’s style of leadership and its commitment to stand on the side of the truth.

“This is evident in the letter the national leadership of the APC sent to Kano, reaffirming Umar Doguwa as the substantive chairman of the party as against the government’s imposed leadership of an adviser to the governor who is even an outsider to the leadership of the party, and is against the party constitution,” Kwankwaso said.

According to TheCable News, Kwankwaso also denied reports that he was considering leaving the APC.

“To set the record straight, we have to understand that these lies originated from Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso, who bears no allegiance to Senator Kwankwaso,” the statement read.

“Musa Iliyasu worked with Malam Shekarau (also a fromer governor of Kano) as commissioner for local governments and still stands in as his spokesperson.

“Also, it is an open secret that Governor Ganduje and Malam Shekarau have pitched tent against Senator Kwankwaso, hence, there is no way, Musa Iliyasu, even though he comes from the same town with Senator Kwankwaso could speak for the distinguished senator. Not on a matter like this.

“On this note, I want to affirm that Senator Kwankwaso is still in the APC, and as is his trademark, he is loyal to any course he believes in. Such is the case with the APC.”
