The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has no moral rights to assess his performance because he has “baggage of the viral video of him stuffing dollars collected from contractors”.
Ganduje had described Godwin Obaseki as a failure and a liability to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He stated this while responding to questions when he accompanied Osagie Ize-Iyamu, governorship candidate of the APC to the presidential villa in Abuja on Friday,
He said his party would take advantage of Obaseki’s alleged failure during the September 19 election.
He has since denied the allegation.
However, a statement by Obaseki’s spokesman, Crusoe Osagie said the remark by Ganduje was disgraceful and laughable, stressing that the Edo governor does not stuff dollars in his pocket.
“The comment by Governor Ganduje on the performance of Governor Obaseki in office is at best laughable. It is also disgraceful because the APC has apparently misconstrued the meaning of performance.
“Ganduje is in no position to assess Governor Obaseki or any other governor for that matter because he has a baggage hanging on his neck, which he needs to clear.”
Ganduje was recently caught on camera allegedly collecting kickbacks from contractors in his state.
