Gov. Ganduje begs for forgiveness, says he has forgiven those who wronged him

Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has asked for forgiveness from those whom he may have offended during his tenure as the state’s leader.

Ganduje made the plea during a Ramadan lecture series at Al Furqan Juma’at Mosque located at Nasarawa GRA, Kano.

The governor stated that he has forgiven those who wronged him, and he asked that they reciprocate the gesture by forgiving him as well.

“I have forgiven anyone who disparaged my character and person for whatever reason, and I equally seek your forgiveness for any wrong I may have done to you,” Ganduje said.

He drew inspiration from Islam’s position on forgiveness, stating that “as espoused by the leader of this mosque, forgiveness occupies a prime spot in our religion.”

“My two-term tenure as the governor of Kano State is coming to an end, and this is a farewell message. I wish you all the best. For those we have wronged, please forgive us. On my part, I have forgiven those who wronged me, no matter the weight of their offense.”

Ganduje’s eight-year term as the leader of Nigeria’s most populous state will come to an end on May 29, 2023. He is expected to hand over the reins of power to the opposition New Nigeria People’s Party’s governor-elect, Abba Kabiru.
