Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Tuesday in Kano debunked reports that he is under pressure to drop his presidential ambition for another candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Other aspirants are former head of state, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and the publisher of Leadership Newspapers, Sam Nda Isaiah.

The party’s presidential primary is slated for December 29.

Kwankwaso, while speaking to reporters in his office on Tuesday, urged the APC leadership to avoid the mistake of adopting a consensus presidential candidate, arguing that it will spell doom for the party.

According to him, such arrangement may deny a popular candidate a ticket.

His words: “I am not under any 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, like medium sized parties, where people sit down and choose somebody in a room.

“Now, we are talking of APC, a 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 have to go for primaries, not arranged elections, real election, primary election, even when we have sitting President in 2003 and 2011, there were elections, very serious elections.

“That is why PDP has been winning all along and all others who are involved in stage managing primary elections always lose elections.

“As fate will have it, PDP has now decided to do their own primaries in the Villa, while the APC will hold their’s in the field, which clearly shows that APC will win, while the PDP will lose the elections in 2015″.

You would be a dunce to believe this. Fulani of all ethnicities?

[size=15pt]Not even forgetting the ridiculous source[/size]. Nor be only . Try "d" reporter.

LFJ:
Because Buhari is exercising his fundamental right, to you devil is using himi. If devil is using Buhari, who is using Jonathan? I guess, it must be Sango or Obatala.

barcanista:
APC did not participate

b3llo:
Hypocrisy is when you say that Buhari is too old
at 70 and you keep calling Awolowo and Zik your
heros. Whereas, Awo and Zik contested for
Presidency in 1983 when they were both 74 and
77 respectively! Hypocrisy is when you say the
youths are better than the old.... Whereas the
youths were responsible for the wars we had and
are still having in Nigeria. .. Ojukwu and Gowon in
1967..... Asari, Tompolo, Shekau in today's
Nigeria. Youth doesn't connote soundness of mind
and old doesn't mean you're senile. GEJ became
Dep. Governor in his 40s, Obj first Presidency was
in 40s, IBB ruled Nigeria in his 40s......Look at
NANS today, will you be comfortable if GEJ
handover to NANS Executive? There are good
youths and good old ones......Age doesn't take
your brains away, neither is youthfulness a
guarantee for mental fertility! It is still this Buhari,
yes that incorruptible Governor. Yes, that
Petroleum Minister who constructed our
refineries. ...that Head of State that started War
Against Indiscipline that has been reduced to
Environmental Sanitation today...Yes that man
that paid Nigeria's huge debt but didn't
borrow.....Yes it is still Buhari, handsome man
with pointed nose.....A chief of army staff who
went after the Chadian invaders and outran
them, captured them and recovered all and put
the fear of Nigeria in the minds of all her
neighbours ...... Buhari the PTF Chairman whose
performance, no one has ever come close to......A
public officer with cleanest Record, most
outstanding. performance ...... Frank and Bold,
Tactical and Prudent. A renowned enemy of
Corruption .....Lover of Nigeria ....... It is still this
same Buhari that says 'Here I am, send me'..... An
ideal man for 2015.We need a change!

Make Sure you research properly to find the relationship between ebola,BATS and the virus.

This was my favourite eBola thread

atlwireles:
Before Buruku, It was Niger east senatorial seat. We remembered APC wining on NL, only to lose in real life. . They will learn after 2015.

OlisahMETU:

Peace and stability are the most important part of governance that no price is to high for them.

Michaell Oluwasegun Davies AMNESIA AND ACUTE STUPIDITY

The main curses that most Nigerians are cursed with.
For I can't fathom why non northerner, will allow wool to be pulled over his/her eyes, and declare support
for a Hausa fulani fundamentalist like BUHARI.
1, The same BUHARI that has no money to buy presidential form but cruises around in a bullet
proof jeep, with expensive cars for escort. Let us stop this slavery of a thing.

2, The other times he contested, WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM

3, Did he equally borrow from other banks?,individuals? for every election

4 ,How many northerners did he jail during his tenure cos enough people from the WEST,EAST, SOUTH AND
MIDDLE BELT WERE JAILED for various trumped up and fictitious crimes.

5, AFTER THIRTY EIGHT YEARS OF RULING NIGERIA, what meaningful development has
the Hausa fulanis introduced into the nation

6, What ECONOMICAL CONTRIBUTION, SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS,COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
OR NATURAL RESOURCE comes from the Hausa FULANIS

7, I have lost dear ones in the various ethnic and religious massacres sponsored by northern
politicians in the north, yet no arrests, no conviction, were these people
brutally killed by ALIENS, FOREIGNERS OR EVIL SPIRITS

8, BUHARI is poor, BUHARI has one car, BUHARI has one house, BUHARI dis and dat?, so why is he
not content with what he has why borrow money all over for election what promises did he
make to all his financiers should he win to make them give him the cash

9. So who and who has been sponsoring him politically ALL THESE YEARS AND WHY who is the
face behind the face

10, WHAT IS THE DEATH TOLL OF NON NORTHERNERS MASSACRED IN THE NORTH TILL DATE. . . AND
WHAT AND WHAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO BRING THE CULPRITS TO JUSTICE AND BY WHO
Like I said, AMNESIA AND ACUTE STUPIDITY. remains a favourite disease for some Nigerians. . . .
Nigerian youth arise for we are the leaders of tomorrow and not a 75 years old man.

Omimah:
He used to be popular.

Obiagelli:
Can you describe the satan tormenting you because i don't know satan and i haven't read his manifesto

winniz:
If u know peeps in the North u can ask them, most Christians up North will rather vote GEJ right now than Buhari so forget APC online propaganda

Obiagelli:
First we need ti find someone that can fight corruption, secondly we need to find some that can get enough votes to defeat gej and the pdp.
Tell me that someone and he has my vote

sarutobie:
we need a leader and NOT a ruler!

winniz:
Benue and plateau state are in middlebelt not North and it's not Buhari stronghold in any way because they are mostly Christians

diluminati:
how does gej's popularity/unpopularity translate to pdp winning buruku? why are you negating the popularity of mr tiav? and mind you benue is middle belt.

GEJ till 2015

Blackfire:
if i say make plane of joy land for ur, e go be like say na fight,guy sango bless u

micolaj:
you are biased, cos you've taken side already.It's also evident that you're a TANmite, I don't need any further evidence to affirm that. Tackle the issue and stop advertising JONATHAN and PDP
