Former Kano State Governor and leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has dismissed assault threats made by Ex-governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Recall that shortly after Ganduje visited President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa on Friday evening, the ex-governor while addressing State House correspondents stated that he would have slapped Kwankwaso had they met at Aso Rock, Abuja.
Gandujes statement comes following the recent demolition of several buildings in Kano State by the Abba Yusuf-led administration, a move he accused his predecessor, Kwankwaso, of masterminding.
Addressing the assault threat, Kwankwaso, while speaking to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Hausa service yesterday, Kwankwaso said Ganduje would never dare make such an attempt, adding that the former governor is his boy politically.
Speaking to BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso said; I heard that he (Ganduje) said he wouldve slapped me; but Im here. He was just confused. These are all my boys politically; hey cant even look at me straight in the face if we meet.
Kwankwaso, while disclosing plans to work with President Bola Tinubu, adding that Tinubu already offered him an appointment but they were yet to reach a definitive conclusion, also stressed he does not plan on defecting from the NNPP.
Addressing the demolition in Kano, Kwankwaso said the president was briefed and a mutual understanding was reached.
