Fatima Ganduje-Ajimobi, the daughter of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, has fired back at critics of her father over the just concluded Edo State governorship election.
Ganduje who was the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign committee in Edo failed to deliver the state in the election which held on Saturday, 19, 2020.
Weeks before the election, he had assured the APC of victory against the PDP.
“We know PDP made Wike their chairman but I assure you, we will isolate Wike in an isolation centre and before he recovers, the election is over,” he had said.
However, the APC candidate in the election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, polled 223, 619 votes to lose to Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who got 307, 955 votes.
As soon as Obaseki was declared the winner of the election, many Nigerians stormed social media to drag Ganduje.
Coming to his defence, his daughter stated that those worthy of criticizing her father are those who can match him in terms of achievement.
Fatima said: “I am from Kano state and Oyo state and no matter what you say or think of Ganduje, he is one of the few elected officers who are actually implementing projects. Don’t argue with me, don’t waste your data, just go to KANO STATE and see for yourself.
“The truth is, as Nigerians we should only consider work on ground. No one should say sh*t about Ganduje unless you have done equal or more work. Simple. He is not from Edo and kano as a state is above many.”
