I Don’t Want To Respond To Falsehood – Umar Ganduje

Umar Ganduje has denied reports that children voted during the just concluded Local Government election in the state.

He said “That was propaganda. You can ask the national observers who went there. They held a press conference. All those pictures were children during a school assembly. It is not true, it is part of the propaganda.

“Let them go back to the states and ask the people did they queue up and vote in the election?

“So, we don’t even need to respond to such falsehood. Ask those who are credible and who witnessed the election, I think that is the most important rather than rely on the social media where things are crafted, and take pictures that were pre-arranged. We don’t rely on that.”

Also speaking on his rift with the former Governor of Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Ganduje said “As you know, we were very good friends. In fact, my politics cannot be complete without Kwankwaso and the history of Kwankwaso’s politics cannot be complete without me. But somewhere somehow, things went wrong.

“We believe in politics that you will get to a point that you cannot rule and manage a state and then you are being controlled from outside. You know that one is very very difficult to happen if you look at the psychology of leaders.”
