Adamu in an interview with BBC Hausa expressed his disappointment that APC lost an important state like Kano, adding that the party would take action on the erring members.

He said, “It was the fault of others that made us lose in Kano. There are those who did not do what they should have.

“Kano is among the states that we beat our chests and say that this is ours, because whatever we do, Kano is at the top of our list.

“But because of selfishness, we found ourselves in this situation. We shouldn’t have lost Kano, but everything that happened to a person, God knows.

“We had warned all APC governors in Nigeria to do away with any form of selfishness before the election, and we think it is that selfishness that led us to lose in a state like Kano.”

He further stated that the ruling party is waiting for the election noise to die down before the party act on members who worked against the party.
