The story of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, governor of Kano State is typified in the African proverb that the patient dog eats the fattest bone. The governor is also seen by many people as an embodiment of loyalty and partner in progress. At the dawn of democracy in 1999, Ganduje sought the ticket of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP to become governor of his state. But he ended up becoming the running mate to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. They won the election and were sworn in. But in 2003, they lost the bid for a second term. When Kwankwaso was appointed Minister of Defence by ex-president Olusegun Onasanjo, Ganduje also served as the Special Adviser (Political) to the minister. In 2011, the pair returned for their second term in Kano. At the point of exiting office, Kwankwaso made way for his deputy and today, Ganduje is the elected governor of Kano State. Eight months into office, Ganduje spoke to newsmen in Abuja on the challenges of office, the alleged frosty relationship with Senator Kwankwanso among other issues

The shenanigans of leaders of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, playing out in it’s bid to reposition, would only give the party a bloody nose. This report will reveal the undercurrents of the present crisis and why the party should stop pouring cold water on its efforts to re-engage Nigerians who are still angry at the last 16years of manifest misrule. Both ways, the leaders of the party are making a bad situation worse. If it is about re-engaging Nigerians and the only person they could think of is Modu-Sheriif, a bad situation would get worse; or, conversely, if after choosing Modu-Sheriff, they are still bickering, a bad situation would, certainly, become worse.
