Rabiu Kwankwaso, former governor
of Kano, met with Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti, in Ado Ekiti on Monday.
A statement from Idowu Adelusi,
Fayose’s chief press secretary, quoted both men as advocating for a peaceful
conduct of the July 14 governorship election in the state.
Details of what was discussed
during the meeting were not revealed but the development comes three days after
Kwankwaso visited Atiku Abubakar, a former vice-president.
Both Fayose and Atiku are of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and have declared their intention to run for the
presidential election in 2019.
Kwankwaso, a member of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) representing Kano central senatorial district,
boycotted the ruling party’s convention which held on Saturday.
The senator has been mentioned in
some circles as being among the politicians gunning for President Muhammadu
Buhari’s job — but he is yet to make his ambition known.
He is a member of the nPDP
faction within the APC. The faction recently protested alleged marginalisation
in the ruling party.
According to the statement from
Adelusi, when Kwankwaso was asked by journalists whether he would defect to the
PDP, he said his next line of action will be determined by whatever was
collectively agreed upon by the nPDP members.
“Kwankwaso also decried the spate
of killings in some parts of the country, noting that it was the responsibility
of the government to secure the lives and property of the citizens,” the
statement read.
