A Video Stirring Controversy: Ganduje's Relationship With His Staff
Incident of Footwear Preparation by Police Officer Allegedly Connected to Ganduje's Aide
A buzz is brewing around the close relationship shared by the Senior Special Assistant to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, on Visual Communication and Events, Aminu Dahiru Ahmad, and his principal. A viral video of Ganduje's police orderly assisting with his shoes has caused quite a stir on social media.
According to reports, the video was shared on Monday and it has generated quite a reaction. Speaking to Daily Trust, Ahmad claimed that the video was spread by opposing politicians with the intention to tarnish Ganduje's image. He emphasized that the former Kano State Governor values his staff's dignity and respect.
Ahmad further stated that the video is proof of the amicable bond between Ganduje and his aides. He encouraged the public to overlook negative interpretations, claiming that Ganduje's approachable nature is evident. His words, "Ganduje is a man who always wears a smile. All his aides and domestic workers feel comfortable revered by His Excellency. The public can witness the friendliness and respect Ganduje has for those he works with."
Ahmad highlighted Ganduje's character, stating that he is a straightforward leader who doesn't engage in sycophancy or ego-massaging. He added that critics are spreading misinformation about the video and that it is merely an attempt to create a new controversy to further their political agendas.
Despite this attempt, Ahmad believes that the incident won't diminish Ganduje's popularity. His effective governance and dedication to serving the people of Kano State have gained widespread admiration. Moreover, the opposition's discomfort with Ganduje's contribution to the APC is evident as high-profile figures, including Governor of Delta, Sheriff Oborevwori and Atiku's running mate in the 2023 presidential election, Ifeanyi Okowa, have recently defected to the APC.
In essence, the video has incited split opinions. While supporters view these interactions as evidence of Ganduje's humility, critics question the power dynamics and believe that public servants should not be made to perform personal tasks. Handling this role reversal delicately becomes essential for Ganduje to maintain his reputation and win public favor amidst ongoing political activities.
