While briefing State House reporters after a meeting with Tinubu on the security situation in Kano State following the demolition exercise embarked upon by the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Ganduje expressed displeasure.

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