Lukman was the first to speak out against the proposal, calling it the \u201cheight of insensitivity\u201d and \u201cpolitical suicide,\u201d some other party officials regretted that the president may be following the same path as his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, who brought Adamu into the party at the last minute.<\/p>\n<p>Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Reuben Abati, said the corruption allegations against Dr. Ganduje could haunt him in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe position of a party chairman comes with a lot of responsibilities. It is not a place where he can go and stuff his babanriga with dollars as he has been accused of doing and this matter has run into troubled waters in Kano State. If he becomes party chairman as is speculated, maybe he should not wear a babanriga (flowing dress) because as soon as people see him with a babanriga in an important position, they will look for nylon bags of dollars,\u201d Abati explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of the Kano State Public Grievances and Anti-Corruption Commission, Muhuyi Rimingado, had said a few days ago that a forensic analysis showed that the  of the viral video from 2017 showing Dr. Ganduje allegedly taking bundles of dollar bills as a bribe from a contractor and stuffing them in his flowing dress was not doctored but genuine.<\/p>\n<p>The APC governors, who met at the Imo State governors\u2019 lodge in Abuja between 9:00 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday, were said to have agreed on the choice of Ganduje.<\/p>\n<p>About 30 minutes after the governors left, Dr. Ganduje arrived at the Imo Governor\u2019s Lodge for another private meeting in the  of Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, himself a native of Kano.<\/p>\n<p>One of the party\u2019s state chairmen from North Central said they were not consulted before Ganduje\u2019s name was proposed. \u201cThat\u2019s the tradition. Decisions are made from the top down. Many of us were not consulted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: PoliticsNews1 (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
