Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has publicly challenged the former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP), Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to display his PhD certificate.
Ganduje, in a video clip on Tuesday, August 29, described Kwankwaso as “an alleged illiterate who cannot understand what a master plan is.”
The former Kano governor said: “I am ready to produce my PhD certificate for everybody to see that I’m real, and by doing so, I’m challenging Kwankwaso to also come out with his PhD certificate to show that he is a Doctorate holder like me.
“Rabiu Kwankwaso lobbied to be the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet to change its master plan, but I asked if Kwankwaso knew what a master plan was.”
The APC boss noted that Kwankwaso’s series of trials to become a minister in the cabinet of Tinubu proved that he was desperate for power, “but rather the President Tinubu quietly asked me to give him a minister, and I gave him a PhD holder, Dr Mariyya Bunkure”.
Ganduje accused Kwankwaso of supporting the demolition of buildings in Kano to portray himself as a minister who would revive the master plan of Abuja, not knowing that what he was doing was instead an alleged madness that was seriously hated by many, including the president.
