Governor of Kano State and presidential
aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
has said that President Goodluck Jonathan would
be easy to defeat during the 2015 elections
contrary to the expectations of the supporters of
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Kwankwaso also said that he was determined to
go to the end in his quest to emerge as the
candidate of the opposition APC, dismissing
speculations that he would step down for any of
the aspirants.
The governor, who is banking on his age among
other older aspirants like General Muhammadu
Buhari (retd), former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar and Alhaji Nda Isaiah noted that he
was the most qualified for the job.
‘’I have contested elections 12 times, I won 11
times, and lost only one from the ward, local
government, state and national assembly level,”
he said.
Kwankwaso spoke with journalists in Ilorin
Tuesday night ahead of yesterday’s meeting of
the APC leaders and other stakeholders in the
state.
He explained that with the electorates’ level of
awareness, Nigeria’s growing democracy, any
incumbent governor or president can be removed
by the people.
According to him, he was removed as the
governor of Kano State and later re elected,
adding that in Ekiti State, the electorates voted
against an incumbent governor, Dr Kayode
Fayemi of the APC, while the same APC won
election in Osun State.
He said that the trend would continue in the 2015
general elections.
His words, ‘’Any president or governor can be
unseated in Nigeria now; forget about any
political jamboree or propaganda that anybody or
political party can be engaged in now. For me,
President Jonathan will be easy to remove in
2015 election because Nigerians are angry with
him. Many people will be surprised.
‘’You people are just sitting down here, if you go
to the north eastern part of Nigeria, your people
there are living on the hills because of the crisis
of displacements while many others have fled to
neighbouring African countries for survival; where
we are sending relief materials to them. Nigerians
are no fools and people cannot be deceived. At
the right time, they will speak with their votes.
”If any of you journalists are the parents of the
Chibok girls only God knows how many write ups
you would have done by now. Where are the
girls,we really need a change.”
