Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has declined a request by Rotimi Amaechi, former Minister of Transportation, to support his presidential ambition.
Amaechi was in Kano for his presidential campaign and also to meet with delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the primary elections of the party.
While speaking with Ganduje during the meeting, Amaechi told the governor, “I know your position as far as our party presidential candidature is concerned, and I want you to change for me”.
While responding, Ganduje, who is believed to be rooting for Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ambition, said, “Kano is a swing state and we will continue to swing until the end, so try and be part of the swings”.
He, meanwhile, commended Amaechi for his endearing efforts in standing with the APC and fighting for it in the wee hours of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidency.
He said, “We are aware how you suffered for our party at the mega movement of its formation, as DG Buhari Campaign Director, we knew how you were harrassed as Governor of Rivers State and how you were at a time denied from flying out from Kano which made you travel to Abuja by road.”
