The rift between Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, and Senator Musa Kwankwaso, national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, was on full display at the recent wedding of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s daughter, Laila. Despite sitting close to each other, the two politicians avoided eye contact and interaction.
The wedding, which took place at the National Mosque in Abuja, was a high-profile event attended by many political bigwigs. However, the tension between Ganduje and Kwankwaso was palpable, with both men seemingly going out of their way to avoid each other.
This latest development is just another chapter in the long-standing feud between the two politicians, which has been playing out in public for some time now. Their inability to put aside their differences, even at a joyful occasion like a wedding, highlights the depth of their animosity.
As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this feud plays out and what implications it may have for the country’s political landscape. One thing is certain, however: the rift between Ganduje and Kwankwaso shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
