Why APC ’ll defeat PDP, by Kwankwaso
Posted by: Kolade Adeyemi, Kano in Featured, News 5 hours ago

Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso yesterday explained why the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win next year’s presidential election.
According to the APC presidential aspirant, the fact that the APC is set to organise a transparent primary to pick its candidate will swing the votes in its favour.
Kwankwaso, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and one time Defence Minister, is rounding off his second tenure in office as Kano governor.
He said the PDP won previous presidential elections since 1999 because the party was inclusive and ran open primaries to pick its candidates.
According to him, at that time, other parties picked candidates without involving the generality of their members.
Kwankwaso told reporters in his office: “As fate will have it, the PDP has now decided to do their own presidential primaries in the (Aso) Villa while the APC will hold its own on the field, which clearly shows that the APC will win the elections, while the PDP will lose the election in 2015.”
On the possibility of a consensus, the governor maintained that the party should be made very strong, stressing that all aspirants should go round the country and campaign to win the electorate, which is exactly what they were doing.
Kwankwaso said he was not under pressure from any quarters to drop his presidential ambition for anybody.
Apart from him, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Head of State Gen. Muhammadu Buhari have picked the APC’s nomination forms.
The party will hold its primary on December 2.
Kwankwaso said: “I am not under pressure to step down for anybody, in as much as nobody  has contacted me to step down, doing that  will not augur well for the party. You see, so many people are used to either small parties or medium sized parties, where people sit down and choose somebody in a room. Now, we are talking of APC mega party, which is not ANPP, which is not CPC, ACN or APGA or New PDP. I always tell people to look at the example of the PDP since 1999 and in each election, people went for primaries, not arranged elections, real election, primary election. Even when we had a sitting President in 2003 and 2011, there were primaries elections, very serious elections and that is why the PDP won all along and all others who are involved in stage managing primary  elections always lost elections.’’
Commenting on the postponement of his presidential declaration, Kwankwaso explained that it had been difficult for him to secure approval to use the Eagle Square as the venue.
According to him, the Eagle Square proposed venue  seem to be impossible, even the conference centre, as we are now struggling for an alternative venue for the declaration. So, if I fail to secure a venue, I will invite you all to the streets of Abuja, that is where we are now and we can hold it there.”
Kwankwaso, who is optimistic of mass defections from PDP to APC “within the shortest possible time, said “my people and my friends are just waiting for me to declare, and after that has happened, my friends in the PDP will vote for me”.
