Tinubu meets Ganduje, Badaru behind closed doors at Aso Villa
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday held separate closed-door meetings with former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and former Minister of Defence, Badaru Abubakar, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Details of the discussions were not made public as of the time of filing this report.
Badaru, who previously served as governor of Jigawa State, has been involved in an ongoing political tussle with Governor Umar Namadi over the control of the All Progressives Congress structure in the state.
The disagreement reportedly influenced the removal of Badaru’s nominee, Bashir Gumel, from the position of National Financial Secretary of the party, with Governor Namadi putting forward a replacement to occupy the role.
Badaru has also been rumoured to be considering a defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), but the former governor has denied any plans to do so.
It was gathered that Ganduje, on the other hand, is expected to remain in the APC, as the former governor and former APC National Chairman has no plans to defect to the ADC coalition.
Ganduje is also expected to nominate the next deputy governor of Kano State following the resignation of Aminu Gwarzo, with his preferred candidate rumoured to be Murtala Garo. However, there are reports that the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Jibrin Fagge, might also be interested in the seat.
