Ganduje :Nigerian Politics, Intrigues and Pull-Down Mischief by NNPP The intrigues of Nigerian politicking is sometimes, to say the least, baffling. The recent press statement by the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), is one of such intrigues. The mere insinuation by the NNPP that His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, two time governor of Kano state, and incumbent National Chairman of Africa's biggest and most robust political party as seeking relevance, is just carrying mischief to the highest realm.  Ganduje doesn't need to become National Chairman of APC for him to be relevant in Nigeria under any guide, because he is relevant already.
