‘Looking very foolish but extremely intelligent’ – Omokri says Ganduje is Obasanjo, Tinubu ‘rolled into one’

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has described the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Umaru Ganduje, as a terrific politician that is full of wisdom.

The renowned public commentator in a post on his Facebook page on Thursday, said Ganduje combined the attributes and political sagacity of former Nigeria’s leader, Olusegun Obasanjo and President Bola Tinubu.

“Ganduje has the Obasanjo and Tinubu gift. The blessing of looking very foolish but being extremely intelligent. He is also quick to hear, slow to anger, and even slower to speak and act.

” And as a result, he is strategic, whereas many others, especially those who underestimate him, are erratic. And he understands the greatest rule in politics. No permanent friend or enemy. Only permanent interests. And understanding that rule enables him to work with people he does not like to achieve a goal he likes,” Omokri said.

PlatinumPost reports that Ganduje has ‘metamorphosed’ into a major political force in the country months after bowing out as a two-term governor of Kano State.

Recall that the Ganduje-led APC has witnessed victories for the party in recently conducted off-cycle elections in Kogi and Imo states, even as the party’s governorship candidates in Kano and Plateau states were recently declared as duly elected governors by Court of Appeal in Abuja.
