Governor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Friday warned President Muhammadu Buhari that he faced a possible legal battle if he declined to run again in 2019.
Ganduje, who fielded questions from some journalists in Abuja, also declared his intention to contest the 2019 governorship election for consolidation of the on-going developmental projects.
“APC governors want Mr President to continue. I am happy that it is not the president that said he wants to continue, it is the people that are saying continue. But Mr President has not made up his mind yet.
When he came to Kano, I told him that any time he decides not to contest, we will take him to court. Kano State government will take him to court any time he decides not to contest. So, we are waiting for him.
“In this country, we saw presidents who spent billions of Naira for third term. So, what is the ruse about a constitutional second term. Some people who spent billions of Naira in order to go for third term, I think it should not be news or something like that,” the governor of Kano State said on why President Buhari must re-contest in 2019.
Ganduje, who also spoke on his decision to seek a second term of four years, said Kano people had implored him to pursue a re-election bid.
