The emergence of Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress has drawn the ruling party ridicule from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party.
Ganduje emerged the party chairman on Thursday.
The previous history of the 73-year-old with regard the viral video of him stuffing his pockets with dollars purportedly a bribe from contractors has become source of PDP and LP’s criticism.
“By appointing Ganduje, notoriously referred to as ‘Gandollar’ by Nigerians over the infamous video of him barefacedly stuffing his gown with US dollar notes as bribe allegedly from a contractor, while serving as Governor of Kano State, further validates that the APC is a putrid party of embezzlers and charlatans,” PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba wrote in a statement.
Labour Party trode similar condemnatory path.
“When you have somebody who has a lot of credibility issues hanging on his neck, what good will he bring? In fact, as we speak today, Ganduje is almost being chased out of Kano because of the atrocities he committed in the state. I am from Kano. Is this the same person the APC is making its own national chairman? Come on, they can do better,” the chief spokesman for Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Yunusa Tanko told Punchng.
