The cold
war between Kano State governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and his
predecessor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has degenerated to full blown
hostility following the threat by the former to exposed the
latter’s stewardship in office.
Ganduje,
who went for broke when he hosted the leadership of Kano students
abroad under the aegis of General Association of Northern Nigeria Students,
based in Egypt, alleged the distortion of the state scholarship
programme.
The
long-time Kwankwaso’s political soul mate declared: “For one year, Kwankwaso
did not pay a single kobo as tuition fee for our students studying abroad.
“Right
now, Kano State government owes those students N3 billion, and painfully, our
revenue is dwindling and we would be cautious in handling the situation”.
The
new Kano strongman revealed that the delay in the payment of the tuitions fee
was caused by the Kwankwaso administration, even as he stressed: “For
whatever reasons, the Kwankwaso administration distorted the scholarship
programme”.
The
enraged governor told the leadership of the students: “I’ve decided to let the
cat out of the bag so that, as educated people, you would understand where your
problems lies”.
