There is a serious concern in some quarters in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the leadership of the party is said to be moving to woo a former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, ahead of the 2023 elections.

Kwankwaso, a two-time governor of Kano State, represented the Kano Central Senatorial District in the last assembly.

The leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement joined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2019 general elections.

Daily Trust gathered that the camp of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and the chairman of the national caretaker committee of the APC, Mai Mala Buni, reached out to Kwankwaso return to the APC.

Political maneuvering has deepened in the APC since National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, formally declared his intention to contest for presidency.

Osinbajo has not formally declared his ambition to contest for the presidency but sources around him said efforts are on in that regard.

A reliable source told Daily Trust that Osinbajo’s camp as well as the chairman of the national caretaker committee of the APC, Mai Mala Buni had contacted Kwankwaso to return to the ruling APC.

“Serious talks are ongoing between oga and them. They want him to return to APC but the option is being weighed. It has not been sealed,” the source said.

Kwankwaso has been silent as many political weights continue to weigh their chances as well as options ahead of the elections.

Sense must fall on our SW brothers, they think they can betray South and get away with it.

If they can tell our Igbo brothers that they can't reap where they didn't sow, they should asked the North to return power to them as payback for 2015 support by asking for power to return to SW and not demanding it comes back to the South and begging for unity through Southern Governors Forum, a group hurriedly put together to champion their already flopped mission.

They know if obi gets PDP ticket and picks kwankwaso as vice it's over

PDP can offer him everything APC plus ability and potential to pick the next Kano governor and control the state which APC can't offer

He would be stupid to jump ship
