Clarification Of My Political Position By Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party.

In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates.

The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position.

In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC.

We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty.

Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time.

On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition.

Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded.

My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership.

We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time.

Former Governor, Kano State
Former Minster of Defence

Kwankwaso has not yet made a decision, and anyone reading between the lines can discern his likely intent. However, some clowns have already hastily cast him as Pitobi’s running mate.
It is clear he will not accept that shiit, and he may soon get cancelled from the same quarters that now project that narrative.

Nigerians, yours sincerely included, are watching closely.

We are porting to NDC

Can you say this again without crying?

Kwakwanso said he came 2nd in 2014.
And said similarly, in 2019, he contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North.

Are you seeing what I am seeing, he is basically saying he is a big fish and does not sound like someone that wants to be a 2nd fiddle.

Peter Obi remains the hope of the ordinary man

Kwankwansiya movement is different from obidients, kwankwanso is in charge of the movement while obidients are in charge of Peter Obi.

obidients will be posting disguising as kwankwaiya, kwankwanso is in charge of the movement while obidients are in charge of Peter Obi. Most of the post you see are obidients claiming kwankwansiya. Kwankwanso has come out fast to discredit the news flying around because he's in charge while Obi is there looking sheepishly. obidients working very hard to destroy the opposition.

Tinubu will send his Angels of destruction and destabilization to NDC and PRP before Monday, watch out.


Most Nigerians are very dull people, while many are wicked in heart, they know the truth but because of ethnic bias they will fein ignorance. It is Bola Tinubu and his Presidential gang that are using Presidential powers to influence judiciary that are now being used to scatter every opposition party in Nigeria, something that has never happened in the history of Nigeria.


Suddenly every political party in the opposition start having leadership crises as soon as strong opposition members join the party. Anyway nothing last forever, but those rejoicing and celebrating these dictatorial acts of President Tinubu today should not cry fowl play tomorrow. Tinubu is very close to his finish line in politics and in life and a whole region is making enemies here and there because of his ill-fated political ambition, isorai

Nobody expects you to say anything good about Peter Obi considering where you came from, so



I wonder what you guys would have done if it was Peter Obi or an Igbo man that destroyed Nigeria in less than 4 years like Bola Tinubu have done. Na karma and law of natural justice go take care of una matter sha

There can't be a smoke without fire🔥

Kwankwaso - former Deputy Speaker House of Reps + ex Minister of Defence + ex Senator + 2-2 degree from UK+ 2 term Governor of arguably the Number 2 (after Lagos) influential state should be Vice to

Peter Obi - no Party primaries experience + 3rd Class degree in UNN ( glorified MirakuruCenter) + almost removed by tribunal + leader of 20th State in Nigeria...

ONLY Obidients can say this

Obidients better go find Dino Melaye or Yusuf Buhari as running mate

Lol, this is a rebuke to the obidients who are forcing a mob position on him

He insists he is only looking at ndc because ADC is cornered by apc judiciary, he gives his history as someone who fought for president with both buhari and atiku

Yet pitobi supporters say he would not go for the big price again but succumb to obi when no fit match buhari or atiku

Obi better move to prp and not follow him cos he would still be another atiku situation where ever kwankwaso goes in a primary

This one that was allegedly accused of sponsoring terrorism. May God help us.

So what made him run away from PDP in 2023, thereby making it easier for Tinubu to get his own turn to continue APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege

This guy has technically dump Peter Obi. It looks like he is contesting for the ticket himself or throwing support to Atiku

The biggest sponsor of terrorism is currently the president of our country.

He and other opposition politicians should support Atiku, to return us to PDP’s widespread prosperity, less corruption, less debt burden, cheap petrol, less unemployment, less insecurity.

All these better things were achieved by deregulation and privatisation policies!!!

How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings

Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.

The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.

Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.

The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.

The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.

Kwankwaso is going for primary whether una like it or not

That's the summary of what he says there, his goal is for president

Obi better takes another party now if not kwankwaso is hoping to box him in when he can no longer decamp

Kwankwaso is very strong in party primaries and obi will never be his match if it's not free concesus

I marvel at the kind of politics these people are playing. It is hardline, if you don't have mind, you can't survive it.

This one just de confused

You are right.

I will say it a thousand time Kwakwanso will never Vice for Obi, El Rufai will never Vice for obi takless Atiku, say who die. As a matter of fact the North in current opposition are for Northern agenda for power to return to the North not to Vice for obi na obi failed to used his brain to understand simple narrative they want to use him to gather numbers that is all.

You mean hope of those who are desperate for Igbo president.
We sane Nigerians are not desperate for a former failure with empty promises that he couldn't fulfill while in office.

You are too crude and tribalistic.

Everything is about your tribe and you want to rule a multi ethnic Nigeria.
