Earlier, Amaechi had told the governor that the people in the APC already know where his (Ganduje) loyalty lies but added that he was in Kano to convince him that he (Amaechi) is the most qualified among the aspirants.
Ganduje believed to be Tinubu's strong ally
Ganduje is believed to be a strong ally of the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is also contesting for the presidency.
Amaechi boasts
Amaechi said he is more qualified than Tinubu because Tinubu has never been Minister and even as a lawmaker, the former Lagos governor only served for a few months.
He said he was more qualified than Vice President Yemi Osinbajo because while Osinbajo was a commissioner in Lagos, he was already a Speaker of Rivers state assembly and ended up as two-term governor while the VP’s only other appointment after the commissioner was that of the Vice President.

Meanwhile, Ganduje had visited the senator representing Kano central senatorial district, Ibrahim Shekarau.
The former governor (Shekarau) was said to have concluded plans to announce his decamping to the NNPP on Saturday, May 14, as the crisis within the APC reaches a tipping point.
The northern politicians had a closed-door meeting at Shekarau’s Kano home late Friday, May 13.
While the outcome of their meeting was not known yet, sources close to the former governor said Ganduje came to forestall the planned decamping of Shekarau to NNPP, which was led by Kwankwaso.
