Breaking: Kwankwaso-Ganduje Rift Too Personal for Mediation – Sule Lamido

The icy relationship between Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the political powerhouse of Kano, and his estranged former deputy, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, will continue to elude resolution because it is so personal, according to former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido.

During an interactive session with reporters at his Sharada office in Kano, Lamido discussed many matters of national significance and claimed that ego was the driving force behind the rivalry between the Kano political gladiators.

A powerful political figure in North-West Nigeria named Lamido stated that “Kwankwaso and Ganduje are twin brothers; their fight is about ego, and until and unless they choose to lower it for the interest of Kano, the frosty relationship will continue to defy third party intervention.”

He emphasized that “they have been together, know each other too well, and have been working closely together for two long years, but they have been using their ego to fuel the crisis.”
According to Lamido, “the two personalities have the answer to burying the hatchet, because the complexities of the fight are so deeply personal that no external influence can resolve it.”

The PDP mainstay advised parties to proceed with prudence when discussing the proposed idea to establish more states in Nigeria.

Given the numerous issues plaguing the Nigerian government, the Talakawa philosopher said that the desire to establish new states shouldn’t take precedence.

“The elements no longer trust one another, you know. North and South are the topics of discussion.
The topic of discussion is Muslim-Muslim. Christians saying no is what we’re discussing. Lamido emphasized that there are other issues that are tearing us apart and that need to be addressed.

The PDP leader clarified, saying, “There is insecurity beyond all else. You’re not entirely certain that you’re safe wherever you are.

“And of course the poverty and the hunger,” he added. Thus, priorities ought to be established. I don’t mind, though, if this security issue manages to resolve the issue.
