Kwankwaso Considers Senate After Losing APC Presidential Ticket by Johnnyessence(op): 9:12pm On Dec 12, 2014
Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State
has said he might be heading to the Senate
after failing to clinch the All Progressives
Congress, APC’s presidential ticket
Thursday.
Mr. Kwankwaso lost the party’s primaries
to former head of state, Muhammadu
Buhari, despite a surprisingly impressive
performance that saw him receive more
party votes than former Vice President
Atiku Abubakar.
The governor said he might consider calls
from his supporters to bid for a seat in the
Senate in 2015. If he so decides, it would
be after consultations, Mr. Kwankwaso
said.
“I will consult with my people, friends and
political associate on my future politically.
And you should know that my being in the
Senate will help in no small measure in
tackling those talkative who have nothing
to offer for the unity of the Country,” the
governor said.
The governor said his immediate concern
is to deliver Kano the APC and to ensure
PDP loses in the state “hands down”.
“I’m back to the ground to ensure that PDP
defeated in this state and the country. Now
I will be fully on the ground to continue
with what I am doing for the development
of the state,” Mr. Kwankwaso told
reporters in his office Friday. “I will make
sure that PDP loses in Kano and I will
deliver 100% victory in the state to the
APC because it’s the party that everyone is
supporting across the country.”
Mr. Kwankwaso said he was satisfied that
Mr. Buhari won the APC ticket for
February’s presidential election.
“Whoever voted for Buhari in the just
concluded presidential primary is just like
he voted me. I and Buhari are the same
and I believe that he will change this
country to better from this mess caused by
the PDP,” he said.
“I would like to use this opportunity and
congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari
for his victory; he is an experienced person
who will better the lives of people and
bring an end to this mess that is going on
in the country.
“I want to say that Buhari with his military
background will try his best to ensure that
the security challenges facing this country
will be overcome. Buhari is the best person
to handle this country at this crucial time”.
“Buhari is a full-fledged politician. He
worked like any other politician in this
country and he earned the ticket by his
commitment. He is a polished and
experienced politician. We must rally
round our support and cooperation
towards his victory,” the governor said. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/173196-kwankwaso-considers-senate-losing-apc-presidential-ticket.html

For those who don't know, the APC primary
election in Lagos was a sham. Buhari was the
concensus candidate. The party just did the
primary to paint a false picture of internal
democracy in the party. Kwankwaso's senatorial
ticket was kept for him same way Okorocha's
guber ticket was kept for him.
Okorocha was in Lagos to show that the party is
not Muslim a party. Its a poorly written script.

Cry of a dying soul.

Among the 5 Contestants at the APC' Presidential Primaries, 40% were Christians. So stop trying to paint it bad!
