2023: Buhari Working Against APC’s Presidential Success – Ganduje
POLITICS DIGEST- Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has declared that President Muhammadu Buhari has some sinister motives to impede the success of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the next week’s presidential poll, especially for refusing to abide by the Supreme Court order and going ahead with the ban on the old Naira notes.
In an audio recording, Ganduje was quoted in vernacular reminding President Buhari that he had contested to lead the country on more than two occasions, but failed woefully before the merger of the APC endeared him his dream in 2015.
Ganduje wondered why would the president want to break down the bridge he had crossed, by going against the same system that oversaw his success eight years ago after three trials at the presidency.

“The President should remember that this is a democratic setting that allows popular voice and leaders to listen to advice and adhere strictly to those advice.
“I wonder why the President is hellbent in making the same Party that helped him to win elections lose out, what did we do to him that he is this ignorant on several advice forwarded to him”.
“This same Buhari he contested again and again but he couldn’t win not until there was an alliance, now he wins and win again for the second term, but now that he is living, he wants to cripple the same Party that brought him to power why?
“This Currency Swap Policy, why didn’t the President bring it seven and a half years ago or after elections, but now one must be compelled to think that there is an ulterior motive in the whole thing.”
Ganduje, however in a way exonerated the CBN Governor, Goodwin Emefiele, saying, “the CBN Governor doesn’t know anything; you now set the Nation Apex Bank on fire with this policy”.
The Governor worried why would the president stick to his gun despite the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (UMF) and other financial Institutions’ advice to think twice on the negative policy.
