I beg you to forgive me- Ganduje Pleads with Kano People
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has pleaded with the people of Kano State for forgiveness.
The governor, during a Ramadan Tafseer in Al-Fruqan Jumaat Mosque, Alu Avenue Kano, stated that there is a need for him to ask for forgiveness since he would be leaving office soon.
Ganduje pointed out that by the virtue of the message preached by the Imam, he has forgiven all who offended him on his part and he also expects the people to do likewise.
He said;
“With this, I can say that the end of my tenure has come as a governor of Kano state. I am bidding you farewell and I wish you all the best in life.
“For those whom we have offended, already our Imam has preached about forgiveness. From my own side, I have forgiven you all. Whatever someone said about me I forgive him. I also beg you to forgive me. Thank you, ” .
In another Tafseer session, anchored by Sheikh Nasidi Abubakar Gorondutse, Ganduje said, “I spent 6 year as a commissioner in Kano, 8 years as deputy governor and now 8 years as governor of Kano state. So I must thank Almighty God for this blessings.
“But for this long period, there must be some places where I did right and where I did wrong. Sometimes someone will commit an offence on your behalf. For whatever wrong I did, please I seek for your forgiveness,” he begged.
However, following the release of the twin videos on forgiveness, Ganduje’s plea has generated reactions across social media platforms, within and outside Kano state.
While some people applauded the governor for asking for forgiveness and forgave him, others reel out conditions in which he must be forgiven.
One Mas’ud Abdulhamid said, “We have forgiven you your Excellency, may Almighty God forgive us all.”
Yakuba Magaji Mani said “Where is our cleric, Abduljabbar? Release him if you want us to forgive you.”
