Yesterday's outburst by the Deputy Governor of Kano state, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar may have rattled the state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje as he has reportedly ordered the reinstatement Hafiz's brother as the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Mandawari ward. Recall that on Tuesday an audio clip emerged wherein Prof. Hafiz was overheard furiously lamenting that the governor had sidelined him in the running of the state and party.

He further condemned the removal of his brother as the ward chairman of APC in his ward without consultation hinting that he was no longer interested in continuing with Ganduje beyond 2019.

 

“When they were campaigning for election, my picture was juxtaposed with the governor, the President (Muhammadu Buhari) and our leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

 

“But today at my birthplace, my picture was replaced with someone else’s picture. What have I done? I do not deserve this even, as a university lecturer at the Bayero University, where I hope to return in 2019 at the expiration of my tenure.


“I will not be part of a system, whereby the leadership of my party, the APC, would be formed at my Mandawari ward, my birthplace, and my brother removed as ward chairman, without consulting me. I will never continue in this situation,” he declared


To address the feud, Ganduje has ordered immediate reinstatement of his brother as the ward chairman. The Commissioner of Information who confirmed the development said the governor was shocked over the outburst. He advised politicians occupying higher offices to be careful when handling sensitive matters of this nature.
