Former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has said he and his political supporters gained nothing after helping former President Muhammadu Buhari secure victory in the 2015 presidential election.

Mr Kwankwaso made the remarks during an interview on Arise TV on Monday, while reflecting on his political journey and the factors that pushed him toward seeking a new political direction.

“I worked so hard. We brought about 1.9, almost 2 million votes. But as politicians, we are not recognised,” he said.

“We put our lives even on the line at that time. But unfortunately, we could not see any benefit either as individuals or the constituencies that we represented.”

Reflection on past administrations

Mr Kwankwaso did not specify what benefits he expected from the Buhari administration or what he believed was lacking after the 2015 election.

However, he reviewed successive Nigerian governments since 1999, arguing that the country has yet to experience the level of leadership needed for meaningful national progress.

He said former President Olusegun Obasanjo “did his best,” while the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua faced severe health challenges during his administration.

He also stated that former President Goodluck Jonathan governed under political complications linked to a disputed one-term arrangement.

Turning to the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mr Kwankwaso said, “Everybody knows there are issues with this administration again.”

He didn't win it against Yar'Adua in 2007. Musa won Katsina state.
