Former Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, expressed his strong disapproval of his predecessor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, stating that he would have slapped him if they had crossed paths in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Ganduje made this statement after meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to discuss the security situation in Kano following demolition activities carried out by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

Ganduje criticized the demolition, claiming it lacked proper investigation and adherence to the Land Use Act.
