Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the party’s presidential candidate in the recent elections in February, has attacked Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje as a liability to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and said he cannot win an election for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
The National Publicity Secretary of the NNPP, Hon. Yakubu Shendam, issued a statement in response to comments made on Wednesday by the ruling party’s chairman, Ganduje, in which he referred to Kwankwaso as a “serial loser.”

The party said with all the alleged scandals surrounding Ganduje, he should not be taken serious by any right thinking Nigerian, adding that the scandals had allegedly done the immediate past governor of Kano State “irreparable damage and he will not be able to deliver Tinubu and APC in 2027. With Ganduje as head, APC is already a dead party.
“Take it or leave it, Ganduje is a liability to Tinubu, a liability to his party APC and a liability to the country, and I can bet that with Ganduje as the National Chairman, President Bola Tinubu is going to lose the 2027 presidential election because Nigerians will not vote for him,” Shendam said.
He added, “Tinubu will regret allowing Nigerians to see him through the face of Ganduje, for working closely with a treacherous character.
“Let me remind Ganduje that after losing governorship primary, Sen. Kwankwaso picked him as his running mate in 2003, SA to minister of Defense, ES Chad Basin Development Commission and there in, he was picked again as his running mate.
“When Kwankwaso successfully ended his second term, he graciously picked him and handed over to him in 2015, yet, he betrayed him and today, no governor trusts his deputy governor to become governor but this we believe will be his last election he will ever contest and win.”
The statement further indicated that Ganduje has never won election in his entire life except the one Kwankwaso delivered for him as governor in 2015 on a platter of gold.
“Every Nigerian knows the story behind the only election he claimed to have won in 2019. It was yet, another election he lost woefully,” the statement added.
