Abdulmumin Jibrin, spokesperson of the New Nigeria Peoples
Party (NNPP) campaign, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) will struggle
in the north in the forthcoming elections.
Jibrin spoke on Monday during an interview with Channels
Television.
He said momentum has now shifted to Rabiu Kwankwaso,
presidential candidate of the NNPP, adding that the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) and the APC are in a damaging and challenging situation.
The NNPP campaign spokesperson said Kwankwaso will get all
the votes in Kano and win the state with a landslide victory, adding that no
candidate can get up to 25 percent votes in the state.
“When APC do their
analysis, all the time they talk about PDP and they say PDP lost Kwankwaso, PDP
lost Peter Obi, PDP lost five governors,” Jibrin said.
“Yes PDP is in crisis, not only crisis PDP is in a mess but
APC is even in a more damaging and more challenging situation, those 12 million
votes are not there.
“When you say Kwankwaso left PDP, the assumption is that he
left with only PDP people but many people from APC joined him. Where did I come
from? Am I not coming from APC? As it stands today, APC has lost about 70 to 80
percent of its support base in Northern Nigeria.
“When Kwankwaso mops
up the votes, particularly from the north-west in addition to those he will get
in the south where he is making inroads, the party will win the election.”
Until May 2022, Jibrin, a former Kano lawmaker, was an APC
member and the director-general of the Bola Tinubu support group council.
TheCable understands that Jibrin decided to leave the party
after another face-off with Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor of Kano state.
Jibrin had wanted to contest for a seat in the house of reps
on the party’s platform but was reportedly blocked by Ganduje with whom he had
been having a running battle for five years.
