“Ganduje’s Job Is  Queue At The Airport, Shake Hands When Tinubu Travels Or Comes Back”- Babachir Lawal

By Gideon Njoku

Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation has dismissed the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, as a man without consequence. Literally, he said Ganduje has no job except two things. One, run in circles around President Bola Tinubu at the Airport and shake hands each time the President was traveling or coming back. And two, wear agbada, go to Kano and cause social disaffection.

Lawal said this in an interview with The Punch when asked why the APC has not expelled him from the party, the verbal war he often wages on the Party  notwithstanding.

In response, Lawal said he would have been happy if expelled; that he would walk like he has springs on his heals, especially, knowing the character of the man who chairs the Party.

His words: “I would have been happier. If the APC expels you, it is a chip on your shoulder. I mean, what is this? Who is this man running the APC? The only role of the APC Chairman now is to follow Bola Tinubu and queue up at the airport to shake hands when he’s coming and going. He does nothing else.

“This man doesn’t even even call for meetings or release press statements. All he does is wear an agbada and go to Kano to cause social disaffection.

“You know, I know the man so well. He’s my friend. He has an NGO that they call Ganduje something. They call him Kadbul Islam, the defender of the Muslims. I think Ganduje is better off as a Muslim missionary than as an APC Chairman. He’ll perform better  there.

“So, if he had retired as a missionary, given the scandals that followed him, he would have simply gone back to focus on religion to find restitution with God for the evil he did when he was in Government.

“I think it would have been better  for him than an old man, half bent, following Tinubu up and down. These are two octogenarian running the country.  He’s not even running the country.”
