One of the worst predicaments is to be in the shadow of someone with a
\nwell built powerful reputation, be it in good or in bad. It’s the worst
\nthing imaginable to follow behind a leviathan, especially if you are a
\npolitician with unending ambitions. Lord, I hate politics.<\/p>\n
Kano Governor Ganduje is suffering just that. No one can ever deny or
\ndispute the reputation of Kwankwaso in Kano, called the father of the
\nmodern Kano. Red-hat Kano and the Kwankwaso or Kwankwasiyyah phenomenon is
\none that will remain in Kano’s history for ever. His ability to easily,
\nroundly defeat the fanatic Shekaraus and deliver a stellar victory to
\nBuhari and also easily make his deputy, Ganduje his successor, gives an
\nidea of Kwankwaso’s political power and reputation in Kano and beyond.<\/p>\n
*Don’t Fight It, Embrace It*<\/p>\n
Ganduje has been having a hard time walking in his shadow. People always
\ntell him, “that’s not how Kwankwaso does it.” The governor simply can’t
\ntake it and you cannot blame him. Where you may however question his method
\nis in him resorting to the Shettima-Sheriiff all too simplistic strategy of
\nfighting your benefactor. Why not protect his narrative as a friend while
\nbuilding your own in tandem?<\/p>\n
In any case, Ganduje is fighting Kwankwaso and the fight is getting
\ndisgusting. In the latest press releases the current Kano governor and
\nformer deputy under Kwankwaso is threatening to soil Kwankwaso’s reputation
\nby “revealing” Kwankwaso’s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153misdeeds and betrayals.\u00e2\u20ac<\/p>\n
What the Kano governor fails to realize is that unless his expos\u00c3\u00a9 is of
\nthe nature of revealing Kwankwaso’s “extra-marital” misdeeds, or his
\n“smoking and drinking” habits or other possible moral weaknesses, any other
\n“administrative” thing Ganduje “exposes” about Kwankwaso will expose
\nGanduje himself.<\/p>\n
It is precisely what happened with Shettima and Sheriff. The more
\nShettima, former Commissioner of the Borno State Ministry of Finance and
\nEconomic Development under Sheriff, “exposed” his boss and benefactor, the
\nmore Shettima got exposed as an equal in plundering Borno’s wealth and
\naiding terror.<\/p>\n
It is the same way that Obasanjo and Jonathan, his god-son knocked each
\nother out.<\/p>\n
You cannot be a part of a corrupt administration and remain employed only
\nto later degrade that administration. You are culpable in its activities
\nand should have openly protested and resigned if that administration was so
\nbad. The worse you paint the administration you were a part of, the worse
\nyou paint yourself. This is the reality of human life.<\/p>\n
It would be advisable that for administrative errors, Ganduje files a
\nreport with the EFCC. That would be in the best interest of Kano State.<\/p>\n
We, most especially those of us who love gossip, are anxious to see this
\nfilthy and irritating typical public demonstrations of the best of western
\ndemoncrazy play out so we can see the dirt on their nyashes.<\/p>\n
We salute Ganduje and Kwankwaso.<\/p>\n
