Kaduna State Coordinator of the Kwankwaso Organisation, Alhaji Bala Kubaraci Garkuwa, has explained why it is almost impossible that former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will reconcile with his successor, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Garkuwa, therefore, advised those trying to carry out peace talks to drop the idea, saying they may not achieve anything positive.
Recall that the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kano chapter in December, waded into the face-off between the two leaders.
Similarly, the national leadership about a month ago, invited Kwankwaso to hear his side of the story on the conflict with Ganduje.
But Garkuwa, who spoke with newsmen in Kaduna yesterday, clarified that the issues between Kwankwaso and Ganduje were deeper and far more serious than the issues in other APC states.
Garkuwa said whereas those of the other states had to do with the ambitions of some persons, the case of Kano was a case of betrayal, which could not be talked over unless the “betrayer” begs for forgiveness and turns a new leaf.
“This is purely a case of betrayal. Somebody (Kwankwaso) made you (Ganduje) somebody when you were nothing; after making you a deputy governor, he took you to the Ministry of Defense, then to Niger Delta and Dafur; if he wasn’t a good man he wouldn’t do that”.
The coordinator said considering the favour done to Ganduje, even if Kwankwaso had offended him, he should have talked to him or sent emmisaries to the latter rather than openly disparaging the former governor.
“Why I think reconciliation will not be possible is because of the people benefitting from the situation. After the Katsina meeting of the APC, a committee was constituted in Kano to investigate Senator Kwankwaso on his visit to Katsina, these are the kind of actions I am talking about.
“The APC should even be happy that it has somebody like Kwankwaso who always pulls crowd for the party, and they should know that the affection is not something that is planned but was spontaneous due to the goodwill he enjoys, hence there is hardly anything anybody can do about it,” Garkuwa added.
