Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State encountered an unexpected hurdle at the swearing-in ceremony held at Eagle Square in Abuja. Security personnel prevented him from entering the venue, causing astonishment among the attendees.
Governor Ganduje and his wife, Hafsat, attempted to join the gathering of dignitaries, but they were blocked by security personnel, leading to a tense standoff. Reports from eyewitnesses indicated that the incident triggered a heated exchange between the governor’s supporters and the security team, with allegations of bias and undue interference.
The specific reason for the security’s decision to bar Governor Ganduje from entering the ceremony remains unclear. However, it generated speculation among the crowd, with some attributing it to political motives or a miscommunication between the governor’s team and the security detail.
Governor Ganduje waited for approximately ten minutes before eventually retreating from the scene, leaving many surprised and disappointed by the turn of events. The incident mirrored a similar situation involving Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, who also faced resistance upon attempting to access the venue.
