2023: Kano already swung, Ganduje refuses to endorse Amaechi for Presidency

There was drama on Wednesday in Kano when former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi visited the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje as part of his consultations ahead of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential primary.

Ganduje refused to endorse Amaechi, for the presidency come 2023, saying the state has already swung to another aspirant.

At the meeting, with other APC stakeholders present, Ganduje said Amaechi would know where the state eventually swung to at the right time.

Ganduje is also known to be an ally of Tinubu, who is also aspiring for the presidency.

Recall that Amaechi resigned from President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet to pursue his presidential ambition under the platform of the APC.

Reacting, Amaechi, who had told the governor that the people in the APC already knew where Ganduje’s loyalty was, added that he was in Kano to convince him that he was the most qualified among the aspirants.

Amaechi said he was more qualified than Tinubu, noting that the former Lagos governor had never been a minister, and even as a lawmaker, Tinubu only served for a few months.

He equally noted that he was more qualified than Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, adding that while Osinbajo was a commissioner in Lagos, he was already a Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly.
