The National Chairman of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has reminded Kwankwasiyya movement leader and former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, that once they defects to the APC, he (Ganduje) becomes their leader.
In a viral audio clip, Ganduje stated that he is the number one person who matters the most in the APC, not just in Kano State, but nationally. He called on supporters of the APC in Kano not to panic or fear someone coming to join the party, stating that anyone who joins the APC becomes a subordinate and follower of the national leader.
In his word; “If you are talking about APC, we are the leaders of APC; not in local government, not in state, not zones but national as a whole.
“If you are an APC membership card holder, you are a subordinate and follower of the national leader. The same thing with leaders at ward, state and zonal levels.
“If you defect to APC today, you are our subordinate and follower. It is important for you to note this; a child of the household and a stranger are all under the care of the head of the house.”
“Don’t be afraid if someone comes to your house to get one thing or the other. For you to go to his house looking for anything and for him to come to your house which one do you prefer?
“One who has what to offer is the one who welcomes others. One that doesn’t have anything to offer is the one looking for where to enter. Lend me your ears, I want to tell you a story. What is the work of the national chairman of the APC? Is it in Kano State alone? 36 states and Abuja wherever I go I am the King, I am the Sheikh, I am Modibbo, I am Alanguburo. So, same thing here at home. We are calling on the NNPP to pack those perishable fruits where they will be preserved in a fridge so that they will not get spoiled or rotten.
“We are calling on them to come back to APC. Is that a crime? One who has something is the one to beg; one who has something is the one who gives.
“As I told you people, whoever you are and your status in the party even if you are ‘Jagora’ (leader) once you come to APC then your grandfather is here!” Ganduje added.
Ganduje also extended a hand of fellowship to Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and others to join the APC, but the governor rejected the call, saying that it did not follow a formal channel of communication.
Ganduje has been engaging with party stakeholders and supporters across the state since late Thursday evening.
