The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to incorrect
reports that President Muhammadu Buhari refused to grant audience to Gov.
Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State during the recent Eid-el-Kabir holidays, which
the President observed in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State.
The report is perhaps the antics of mischief makers, who
wish to score cheap political points against the Kano State governor.
The President had received Gov. Ganduje, along with others,
a few weeks ago in London, and the Kano State governor had also welcomed the
President, alongside many others, on his return to the country on August 19.
Why would such a person then be snubbed, as being reported, particularly on
social media?
Gov. Ganduje had visited Daura during the Sallah holidays to
commiserate with the Emir of Daura, His Royal Highness Faruk Umar Faruk, who
had recently lost his younger brother, Barde n'Daura. The governor then used
the opportunity to be part of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
There is absolutely no reason for President Buhari to have
snubbed Gov. Ganduje, or anybody else for that matter. It is not in the
character of our President.
