Kano: Jibril meets Buhari, speaks on ‘rift’ with Ganduje

Abdulmumini Jibril, who will be participating in the January 25, 2020 re-run election in Kano State for Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency seat in the House of Representatives, has spoken on the alleged rift with Governor Ganduje

Jibril, who spoke at the State House, Abuja, after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari said he did not visit the President because of the perceived rift with Ganduje.

He debunked the reports making the rounds, adding that he has a cordial relationship with the Kano state Governor.

“My relationship with my governor is cordial. He’s always been a father and nothing has changed.

“That’s not true. It’s the usual rumour, we are working harmoniously and I’m sure that the rerun will be very successful, not only in Kano for the APC, but all over the country where rerun will be held on the 25th.”

Speaking on his meeting with Buhari, Jibril added “I had audience with Mr President and a regular audience to discuss with him all the achievements during the year, to commend him on the progress we’ve made in the economy, fight against corruption and the issue of security in the country and to look at issues having to do with massive infrastructural development going on across the country. We need to sustain it

“The agricultural revolution going on, we need to sustain it. The fight against insurgency and the successes that have been recorded and of course, the cordial relationship that now exists between the executive and the legislature.

“By and large, it’s been a very good year for the President and the government and I think we all have the responsibility to commend him. That’s what we discussed, essentially.”
