The Governor of Kano State,
Rabiu Kwankwaso, has stated
that the Presidential candidate
of the All Progressives Congress,
Muhammadu Buhari is in a
better health condition than
President Goodluck Jonathan
and is therefore, fit to rule
Nigeria.
Mr. Buhari, a former Head of
State and Retired General of the
Nigerian Army, is presently on a
working visit to the United
Kingdom.
His campaign office had issued
a statement Thursday saying in
the course of the visit, Mr.
Buhari will hold meetings with
key members of the British
political establishment and
interact with some global
institutions with interest in the
affairs of Nigeria.
“General Buhari would
hopefully give a talk at the
prestigious foreign policy hub,
the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, Chatam
House in London, the
spokesperson for his campaign,
Garba Shehu, said.
However, there has been wide
speculation by supporters of the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party,
that Mr. Buhari was actually
ferried out to receive medical
attention because his health
was failing.
The Kano governor who had a
chat with newsmen in Kano on
Sunday said Mr. Buhari has no
health challenges.
“By my judgement, since we
finished our party primary
elections, he is sound, hale and
fit to rule this country.
“In fact I feel he is healthier
than the incumbent occupier of
the seat because he went to all
the states on campaigns in
addition to other engagements
that come in between,” he said.
Mr. Kwankwaso also accused
the Federal government and the
ruling PDP of sharing money to
win the presidential election
fixed for March 28.
He said money alone cannot
give success in the forthcoming
elections.
