Ganduje made this declaration while speaking to journalists at the APC national headquarters in Abuja, following a visit from the Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata.

Ganduje characterized Kwankwaso’s current political situation as “a fish out of water, trying to find its way back into the waters,” suggesting that the APC is willing to offer him a political home.

He emphasized the party’s commitment to deepening and widening democracy in Nigeria, implying that accommodating Kwankwaso aligns with this vision.

“We cannot say we can’t accommodate him, because a friend in need is a friend indeed. We don’t want to leave him completely abandoned. We can still have him in, if he wants to join us,” said Abdullahi Ganduje.

“The APC is deepening and widening democracy in the country. Kwankwaso is a fish out of water, trying to find its way back into the waters,” Ganduje said.

“We cannot say we can’t accommodate him, because a friend in need is a friend indeed. We don’t want to leave him completely abandoned. We can still have him in, if he wants to join us.”

Ganduje further elaborated on the party’s stance, stating, “When you see your son running to where he would get shelter and you are a big brother in a big home, I think it is morally right to accommodate him. So, we cannot say we cannot accommodate him.”

Yusuf Ata, a former Kano House of Assembly speaker, who visited Ganduje to express his support for President Bola Tinubu, also commented on the political dynamics in Kano State.

He asserted that the “Kwankwasiyya red cap era” is fading and reaffirmed his commitment to delivering Kano State for the APC in the 2027 elections.

While Ata expressed his personal reservations about Kwankwaso rejoining the APC, he acknowledged that he would defer to the national chairman’s decision.

“For me, I will not want the former Kano state governor to be welcomed into the APC fold. But I have no choice if our national chairman decides to have him on board,” Ata said.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairmanship candidate for Mosan Okunola Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Akindele Adunni Opeyemi, has extended a hand of fellowship to fellow aspirants who contested alongside her in the party’s just-concluded primaries, urging them to unite for the greater good of the community.

Adunni made the conciliatory appeal following her official emergence as the APC flagbearer for the forthcoming local government elections in Lagos State.

Speaking in a tone of gratitude and reconciliation, the former Vice Chairman and Executive Secretary of the LCDA attributed her victory to divine grace and expressed heartfelt appreciation to her family, party leadership, and dedicated supporters across the council area.

“The primaries are behind us, and now it’s time to face the future with renewed hope and unity.

“This victory is not just mine—it is a triumph for tested experience, proven leadership, and a shared vision for a better Mosan Okunola ,” she said.

With her campaign slogan, “Adunni in the Neighborhood… My Community, My Focus! Olorun ni, Eniyan ko,” resonating across the LCDA, Hon. Adunni is positioning herself as the candidate of continuity, competence, and community-focused leadership.

Her message of reconciliation, shared purpose, and forward-looking leadership sets the tone for what promises to be an issue-driven and people-centered campaign season in Mosan Okunola.

Reinforcing her image as a bridge-builder and team player, Adunni appealed to her fellow contenders to set aside personal differences and work together in the party’s collective interest.

“In the spirit of unity, I extend a hand of fellowship to all my fellow aspirants who contested alongside me. There is no loser in a family. We are one—and together, we must work hand-in-hand to build the Mosan Okunola of our dreams,” she said.

Renowned for her strong record in grassroots development and effective service delivery, Adunni emphasized her readiness to serve once again with renewed vigour.

“I am not new to service. I am tested, trusted, and tenacious. I have walked this path before. I have delivered. And now, I am ready to do even more,” she declared.
