The former Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has vowed that he would slap his predecessor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, if both met at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Kwankwaso was at Aso Rock for a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday.
Ganduje, while addressing State House correspondents after his meeting with Tinubu on the security situation in Kano state as a result of the demolition exercise embarked upon by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, expressed displeasure over the development.
Ganduje said the demolition exercise was done without carrying out any investigation or giving due notice in line with the provisions of Land Use Act.
The former governor said he spoke at length on the issue while reporting the matter to the president and had petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, with video evidence of the looting and vandalisation that trailed the demolition.
He said the governor who he described as a “stooge” of Kwankwaso was no longer happy because of the condemnation that greeted the move.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had said the demolition exercise was part of the fulfillment of his campaign promise to “restore” the urban development masterplan of the city.
He had also insisted that the exercise was not a vendetta against the past administration of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and that many more demolitions would follow.
