Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is open to accepting Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso if he decides to defect to the party. Kwankwaso, a two-term Kano State governor, has experience in politics and has served as Minister of Defence and senator. Ganduje believes Kwankwaso's departure would make it easier for him to lobby for the party. The two political allies have not been on good terms since their first tenure.
