<p>Former Governor of Kano State and former APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, says the 1999 PDP primary election that produced the joint ticket of Kwankwaso and Ganduje was rigged in favour of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.</p>
<p>Dr. Ganduje stated this in a viral video circulated online while addressing some people.</p><div class="2UXOc9vW" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Ganduje, who was former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso&#8217;s deputy between 1999 and 2003 and between 2011 and 2015, said, &#8220;I swear by Almighty Allah that Kwankwaso did not win that primary election. I was the one who won, and the person who rigged the result in Gabasawa Local Government is still alive. He is even closer to me despite rigging the primary election in favour of Kwankwaso.&#8221;</p>

<p>Ganduje added that the PDP representatives who were sent from the party&#8217;s national headquarters appeased him when he objected and insisted that the primary election should be cancelled.</p>

<p>Ganduje said they begged him not to disrupt the process in order not to repeat the scenario of the 1991 gubernatorial election between the Santsi and Tabo factions during the SDP and NRC days, where a relatively unknown NRC gubernatorial candidate, Architect Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya, won against the popular SDP candidate, Engineer Magaji Abdullahi.</p>
<p>NIGERIAN TRACKER reports that Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje also served as Commissioner of Works and Housing during the military administrations of the late Colonel Muhammad Abdullahi Wase, the late Colonel Dominic Oneya, and the late Colonel Aminu Isa Kontagora before he resigned in late 1998 and contested the PDP primaries won by former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.</p>
<p>NIGERIAN TRACKER reports that Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso parted ways in March 2016 during the first tenure of former Governor Ganduje, when former Governor Kwankwaso was accused of politicising the condolence visit following the death of Governor Ganduje&#8217;s mother, who passed away in March 2016 in Ganduje town, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area.</p>
<p>Since then, the political conflict between the two Kano political giants has continued to rage to this day, with both men bashing each other on any political podium where they find themselves.</p>
<p>Kano elders, during the lifetime of the late NRC presidential candidate, Alhaji Bashir Othman Tofa, made efforts to reconcile them, but to no avail.</p>
