KANO — A member of the House of Representatives from Kano State, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has opened up on his unsuccessful attempt to broker peace between former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, and ex-presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme on Wednesday, the NNPP chieftain disclosed that despite personal setbacks and even insults from Ganduje, he had made efforts to mend fences between the two political heavyweights.
“Everyone knows that I have always advocated, even right from the beginning of the government, for national unity and I never stopped at that,” Jibrin said.
He recalled: “I felt insulted myself by Ganduje, everybody knew what happened, but I still tried to ensure that there was some sort of peace between him and Kwankwaso. I did my best, but I believe it’s in their own mutual interest.”
The lawmaker emphasized that the feud could only be settled if the former governors of Kano State decide to put aside their differences.
“At the end of the day, it’s the decision of Ganduje and Kwankwaso to decide about it,” he added.
