The Gandujes and their detractors, By Zainab Suleiman Okino

When the New Nigeria People’s Party’s Abba Yusuf came in newly, he started by demolishing Ganduje’s legacies, literally, despite millions of naira of taxpayers’ funds sunk into those public projects. As if this was not bad enough, the Ganduje family was also embroiled in litigations with the Kano State government, after the latter dragged the family to court over corruption related issues.

In Ganduje’s travails, some people have even fingered forces within the presidency as catalysing the groundswell of opposition against the chairman. This may seem unfathomable, but because everything is game in politics, I dare not disagree. The presidency should prove its innocence… Whether you turn to Premium Times for daily updates, in-depth investigations into pressing national issues, or entertaining trending stories, we value your readership.

This is a clarion call on the president to reward loyalty, and not use and dump as it is being perceived in some quarters. Since the PDP days, when President Obasanjo was declared as the leader of the party that brought him to power, and governors do the same at the state level, no chairman has been removed without the president’s consent. As a matter of fact, once a party chairman falls out of favour with the president, he is a goner.

This, by no means, does not imply that corruption should be swept under the carpet. We all want corruption eliminated from public service, but when the anti-corruption war is tainted with politics, it becomes questionable. Instead of intimidation and harassment, the rule of law should be reinforced in all ramifications and not applied selectively. The ongoing media trial of the APC chairman can detract from public trust and confidence in our polity.
