A former governor of Kano State,
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has reportedly asked his supporters in the state
to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
According to his nephew, Musa
Iliyasu Kwankwaso, who is also the Commissioner for Special Duties in Kano
State, the former governor had asked his supporters to join the PDP ahead of
the forthcoming local council election in the state.
He was reacting to the report
that pressure was being mounted on Kwankwaso to decamp to the former ruling
party.
He told newsmen in Kano yesterday
that, “Already, he has given the go-ahead to his supporters to join the PDP in
Kano State so that they can contest in the forthcoming local government
election in the state. But what I can assure him is that the APC will win all
the 44 local governments because of the growing supporters’ base of Governor
Ganduje.
“It was because of Kwankwaso that
the chairman of the PDP was thrown out of office because they wanted to hand
over the party structures to him ahead of his defection,” he also claimed.
“They want to use red caps to
cause confusion during President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit next month. We will
not allow that because Kano people are for Buhari all the time,” he said.
“I think we should think
positive. We are taking the negative side now. It is just like me asking you:
‘If your employers do this or that, would you leave your place of work?’
“We should think positive; it
depends on how you put it. We are happy now in the APC, we are comfortable with
our leaders in Abuja and they have not done anything wrong,” he said then.
