REASON WHY GANDUJE DIDN'T  DESERVE  MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENT  

BY: MAHMUD GARBA SHAWAI 

In Nigerian polity, a minister can be seen  as any individual who is assigned to take the mantle of overseeing and executing the affairs of a given ministry, which he/she is assigned under the approval of his/her principal (the president).

 Evidently, he (a minister) can be considered as an entity among the think-tanks of the President. He must be a person with sufficient intellectual capacity, cognitive stability and non-discriminatory behavior.

A minister should be a reflection of a true leader who possess all the qualities to be called a leader. He shouldn't be mischievous, and neither nepotistic in discharging his/her duties.

On one hand, Ganduje is seen as the frontline supporter of Tinubu since before his emergence as APC's Presidential flag bearer. The former's actions and inactions in Tinubu's camp gave all and sundry the believe that he is among the confidants of the President elect. 

On the other hand, numerous political analysts are seeing the undying support of Ganduje to Tinubu as just a mere self-gain political strategy, which he mastered for decades.

Succinctly, the anatomy of Ganduje's political attitudes shall be viewed through the prism of his relationship with his ultimate Principal (Kwankwaso) in Nigerian politics. Kwankwaso nurtured and spoofed Gaduje's political career for decades, but today, the result is awful! The latter is now a major sponsor to all kind of hoslities and enmities against Kwankwaso.

Ganduje's anxious words of praises to Tinubu are indistiguishable from those which he spoke to Kwankwaso when he was in need of his assistance. He displayed all forms of loyalties which one could see him as a de facto Governor be the side of Kwankwaso after 2015 Gubernatorial election.

In addition, his proponent support to the incumbent President (Muhammadu Bubari) was indifferent to that of Tinubu during the early years of his service.

However, all Nigerians who can understand Hausa, heard the inflammatory words (Habu-na-Habu) he uttered to the President. Why? Because he has no needs from him now!

To my own personal view which is indifferent to that of some of my associates; we are on the believe that Ganduje is more of a retrogressive than a progressive. He is an epitome of mischievous leadership, who drives pleasure in hurting the feelings of others. He is a well celebrated leader whose achievements could be traced within the vicinity of defalcation and misappropriation (Dollar saga will justify).

In short, Ganduje's appointment as a minister will do more harm than good if his leadership in Kano state is used as a case study.
