'I'm not a god, don’t worship me' - Kano governor

Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has cautioned All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters against regarding him as a “demigod”.


Ganduje spoke in Sokoto State at the closing of a three-day retreat for officials and stakeholders of the APC on party management. He stressed the need for party members to continue to be law-abiding and focused to ensure the state’s socio-economic development.

The governor said: “I am not a demigod, so do not worship or prostrate before me or praise-sing me always.

“You should also stop being sycophantic to me. I am not more than you. I am an equal partner, even as we are all equal members and stakeholders in party affairs.”

Governor Ganduje underscored the importance of opposition in bolstering democracy in the country. He explained that the retreat was organised to improve the party’s affairs.

“Political parties are often forgotten after elections in Nigeria, this should not be so and this is what we want to change in Kano.”
