Ganduje is a two-term Kano governor and a close ally of President Bola Tinubu. Wike is also believed to be loyal to Tinubu, despite not being in the same political party.
Wike’s visit to Ganduje has been interpreted in several ways. Some see it as a genuine congratulatory visit, while others believe it signifies Wike’s continued support for Tinubu. Still, others think Wike keeps his options open and may consider defecting to the APC.
