President Bola Tinubu has reportedly invited Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general election, after meeting with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano on Monday, January 19.

Recall that Tinubu's meeting with the governor on Monday was to finalise the defection of Yusuf, and the meeting with the NNPP leader was a last-minute push to bring Kwankwaso to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

It was learnt that the meeting between President Tinubu and Governor Yusuf lasted for about an hour. The meeting was attended by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the APC national chairman, Professor Yilwatda Nentawe, and Femi Gbajabiamila , the chief of staff to President Tinubu.

No governor asked President Tinubu for automatic ticket - source

Daily Nigerian reported that sources privy to the meeting disclosed that it dwelt more on telling President Tinubu about the terms and conditions of Kwankwaso before joining the APC.

The sources disclosed that Governor Yusuf asked the president to have a meeting with Kwankwaso to further persuade the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement to join the party, as all the governor's efforts failed.

The source reads:

“Nothing really significant was discussed during the meeting apart from the issue of persuading Kwankwaso to join the APC. The issue of Kwankwaso is what matters to Mr President.”

Speaking on the claim that the governor demanded an automatic ticket for himself and lawmakers in the National and State House of Assembly who were defecting with him, the source said:

“No governor dares look into the president’s eyes and make that demand.”

Lol. Tinubu is afraid. He wants everyone in his party and also wants to be the only candidate on the ballot. He has 36 state governors but he's still not confident of victory. I thought Agbadorians told us Governor Abba Kabir is a big fish and will deliver Kano to Tinubu? Why is Tinubu still begging Kwankwaso despite his outrageous demands and his insistence on having the V.P slot? Kwankwaso is using his threats of defecting to ADC as leverage to get Tinubu to do his bidding because he knows he's desperate. In the end, Tinubu will throw Ganduje and Shettima under the bus just to get Kwankwaso. It will prove to be a grave mistake.

Between me whose party have won election and run the country since 2015 till date and getting stronger and you who doesn’t even have party members card and is waiting for Obi to give you direction who is the kindergarten politician? Dodoyo.

AMINDA:
I saw that part and laughed. Kwankwaso is not even a governor and he has been demanding for automatic V.P ticket after demanding the sack of Ganduje as APC chairman. Tinubu never even thought twice before granting his request then.

ObiORBiafra:
After Shettima, I so much like Kwankwaso.

SisterAnn:
Still, you are reinforcing my earlier stance on you been a kindergarten political pundit.

So ADC should show you their cards even before the game starts?

2015 till date is how old? You can only dream to reach PDP's 16, years in your pipedream. 😃🤣

SisterAnn:
Nna mehn! See groove o.
Your subtle gaslighting didn't go unnoticed. Lol

ObiORBiafra:
You just dey labooorr in vaiiiiin

benardtotti:
And you still displayed why you are a dodoyo, elections are in February, your adversary the apc has been consolidating, your party is still there decrving themselves that they have a plan , dont worry you will realize you are a kindergarten in politics after your party primaries and you become stranded and start looking for another SPV like labor party to bail you out .

SisterAnn:
Yet you need to shout yourself hoarse to be heard? I hate noise. 😓
