Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano state,
says President Muhammadu Buhari is a dedicated nationalist who loves Nigeria
more than himself.
According to Abba Anwar, chief press secretary to the governor,
Ganduje said this at an event the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus in the
south-east organised for the president in Owerri, capital of Imo state.
The newly elected leaders of the
ruling party reportedly attended the event.
“We have in him a true and
committed leader. Buhari is a symbol of unity. Buhari loves Nigeria more than
the way he loves himself,” Anwar quoted Ganduje as saying.
“He is too much committed to
bringing sustainable development to our dear nation. This dinner in his honour
is timely and apt.
“Before our dear president came
in, we had series of bomb attacks all over the north-east. So also in places
like Kano, we had terrible experiences.
“There was a time in Kano when 10
police stations were bombed simultaneously. Over 300 people were killed. We can
still remember when there were explosives at Kano Central Mosque, where another
set of more than 200 were killed by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents. But
everything is now history. When President Buhari came in now it, is a different
story.”
Ganduje said before the emergence
of the current administration, the military was in disarray and soldiers were
using almost obsolete weapons while there was not much enthusiasm at the time
for fighting insurgency then.
“But when Buhari came on board,
things were put in good shape. Buhari is absolutely for Nigeria. If we are
looking for economic prosperity for the nation, Buhari is the answer. If we are
looking for integrity, Buhari is the answer. If we are looking for honesty in
the fight against corruption, Buhari is the answer,” he said.
“The convention is a huge success
for Nigeria. It is a huge success for democracy. It is a huge success for
South-east and a huge success for Imo politics.”
In February, Ganduje promised to
deliver five million votes to Buhari in Kano. TheCable fact checked this and
found it impossible.
Buhari has never polled up to
five million votes from a state in the four consecutive elections he contested.
No other candidate has ever polled five million votes from a single state in the
history of Nigeria’s elections
