I flew with Max Air from Abuja to Lagos earlier this year with Governor Gandeje on-board. There were as many female passengers as the male that travelled on that flight. Ganduje sat in the business class while I sat in the economy class.
It is thus perplexing that the same Ganduje has banned women from using the same tricycle with men in Kano State. If this governor believes that men and women should not associate or travel in the same tricycle why is he comfortable flying with women in the same aircraft?
This backward mentality offends fundamental rights. It should be challenged immediately in court by conscious public spirited people in Kano State.

Saudi Arabia is trying to extricate itself from religious dogmatism but here we are, in a 21st century Nigeria, debating whether men and women should enter or board the same tricycle.

How will the enforcers of this primitive policy distinguish people of the opposite sex who are related by blood or marriage from those who are not so related? Is Ganduje saying that husbands and wives cannot board the same tricycle?
Ganduje's hypocrisy and fanaticism will not improve the lives of the people of Kano. Rather than invest in girl child education, Ganduje is pursuing a frivolous religious agenda. Where was this false spirituality when this same governor was exposed on videos receiving Dollars?
