“I know he is in the building but we have not met. Probably if we met, maybe I could have slapped him.”

The duo have been in a heated feud since 2015 when they had a fallout over their political views and other personal issues.

Before emerging as governor in 2015, Ganduje deputised Kwankwaso between 2011 to 2015.

Speaking on the demotion in Kano State, Ganduje revealed that the exercise was illegal while noting that the current government did not do proper investigations or consider the statutory provision of the Land Use Act before embarking on demolition structures in the state.
