Buhari did not snub Ganduje in his village – Nigerian government

The Presidency has denied media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari refused to grant audience to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State during the recent Eid-el-Kabir holidays in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State.
News had it earlier that Buhari snubbed Ganduje when he came to visit him during the Sallah holidays.

Reacting to the report on Monday, Femi Adesina, spokesman of President Buhari said the report was perhaps the antics of mischief makers, who wished to score cheap political points against the Kano State governor.
He said, “The President had received Gov. Ganduje, along with others, a few weeks ago in London, and the Kano State governor had also welcomed the President, alongside many others, on his return to the country on August 19. Why would such a person then be snubbed, as being reported, particularly on social media?
“Governor Ganduje had visited Daura during the Sallah holidays to commiserate with the Emir of Daura, His Royal Highness Faruk Umar Faruk, who had recently lost his younger brother, Barde n’Daura. The governor then used the opportunity to be part of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
“There is absolutely no reason for President Buhari to have snubbed Governor Ganduje, or anybody else for that matter. It is not in the character of our President.”
