Ganduje Slams NNPP, Calls Them “A Party Of Failed Politicians”

Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as a party of failed politicians.

Speaking while addressing a coalition of support groups who were at the APC national secretariat on a solidarity visit, he alleged that NNPP leaders were sponsoring protests as part of efforts to remove him as APC helmsman.

The former Kano State governor specifically said some bigwigs in the NNPP were eyeing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s seat, but stressed they would not get it as Tinubu would run and win a second term of office.

He said, “They are so afraid because we are consolidating. They are so afraid all over the country because we are receiving new entrants into our party. That is creating fears in their minds.

“They are already eyeing 2027, but that time, there is no vacancy. Only our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will, Insha-Allah, continue as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

While urging APC supporters to ignore what he described as African Magic Drama, Ganduje said, “So, we urge you to be committed to our party so that our party will continue to forge ahead.

“We have had your commitment and speeches, and we understand your mission. The whole drama, political rascality, started from Kano with the government. Instead of responding to the yearnings, needs, and demands of the people of Kano State, they decided to divert attention.

“Our eyes are on those who are diverting our attention to political propaganda against the APC. Can we allow them to continue like that? We understand what they are doing. It is a political drama.

“What they are doing is African magic drama in order to convey a failed program and projects by failed politicians. We will not allow them to continue with that.

“They are also sponsoring pockets of diffident protest from all over the country. They are spending a huge amount of money in order for people to demonstrate against the leadership of our party. It is a complete failure from what we have seen all over the country.

“Now, you should know that they are sponsored by the Kano State Government. And they are a small party. They are a micro party. They are a party that is terribly defeated all over the country.

“It is a party that is breaking down. It is a party that is a mixture of failed politicians. If you follow what is happening in that party, you will find out that it is a party that is sharply divided between those who are authentic members of the party and those who are fake members of the party individualistic and so arrogant in the management of the political party.”
