Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has vehemently reacted to accusations of failure leveled against his administration by his predecessor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, describing the latter’s eight-year tenure as governor as wasted years.
In a scathing response released by the spokesperson to Governor Yusuf, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on Sunday, the governor condemned Ganduje’s audacity to criticise his administration despite his alleged record of maladministration as govenor.
He pointed out that Ganduje ‘shamelessly’ spoke about a non-existent failure in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) led government, instead of facing the nemesis of corruption and political violence hanging around his neck.

Governor Yusuf insisted that Ganduje presided over two ‘unproductive tenures’ characterised by the alleged siphoning of public resources, inability to cater for the needs of Kano’s population, nepotism, and bloodshed that left many families in the mood of melancholy.
In his words, “Our eight months in office have remarkably outweighed Ganduje’s eight wasted years of political caricature and maladministration by all standards.
He further advised the acting National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) and the immediate-past governor of Kano State to rather buckle up in defence of his battered image at the court, instead of further exposing his impunity in the media space.
