A former Governor of Kano State
and Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District, Rabiu Musa
Kwankwaso, may dump the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He is said to be waiting on the
outcome of peace moves initiated last week by President Muhammadu Buhari, to
resolve intra-party crisis in some states.
The reconciliation committee is
headed by former Lagos state governor and APC national leader, Bola Tinubu.
Recall that Kwankwaso last
Thursday in Anambra declared his interest to contest the 2019 election.
In a meeting with leadership of
the Kwankwaso Movement, and the Hausa community in the state, the lawmaker
listed incessant killings and economic meltdown as what informed his decision.
A source in his camp gave some of
the reasons that made Kwankwaso to conclude that now is the best time to leave
the APC.
He alleged that the presidency
had displayed partiality in the crisis rocking the Kano APC chapter and that
the politician no longer feels the party needs him.
“Let me give you two instances.
The APC went to invite a former PDP Senator Basheer Lado; he joined last month.
Lado, represented Kano Central from 2011 to 2015, but Kwankwaso defeated him during
the last election.
“What they have done now is to
offer him automatic ticket to return to the Senate in 2019. We have eyes and
ears everywhere and already have the details of the deal they agreed before
Lado left PDP.
“What this development means is
that even if Kwankwaso decides go back to the National Assembly, the
presidency, the APC and Kano government won’t allow him because they now have a
candidate.
“Another instance is the rally
they forced Kwankwaso to shelve. When Lado declared for APC, they shut down the
Sani Abacha stadium in Kano on January 27. The police and others didn’t asking
him to postpone his rally.
“Lado was received by Deputy
National Chairman, Segun Oni. President Buhari sent a letter and said he would
have attended but that the date coincides with AU event he traveled for.
Governors, many office holders, top party members were there.
“But when a former governor and
sitting Senator wanted to meet his people in his home state, they said there
will be violence. This is a man in the same party with the President of Nigeria
and the incumbent Governor.
“The writing is clear enough. All
his friends and followers have been telling him for a long time to leave APC.
But as someone who believes in exploring all options, he keeps say telling us
to ‘calm down’. He gets more uncomfortable by the day and I think he will make
up his mind soon”.
The source further confirmed that
the PDP hierarchy has been inviting Kwankwaso “to return to the fold since last
year”.
It would be recalled that
Chairman, PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Walid Jibrin, last month, while
addressing a PDP youth group, Ward-To-Ward during a courtesy visit, hinted that
the party would soon receive some former chieftains.
“We are also expecting a big
return of some of our former governors, our National Assembly members and very
renowned party followers.”
“We are therefore calling on the
Senate President Bukola Saraki, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and all our former
legislators who have left this party to come back quickly”.
On whether Kwankwaso has fixed
another date for his Kano trip, our source said said that he may use the
rescheduled rally to announce his exit from the APC.
Kwankwaso, himself, had confirmed
that he would hold an “impressive homecoming” rally soon.
Speaking on his cancelled trip,
days after he met with vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, he said: “The retreat of
a ram does not mean cowardice. I only heeded the call of some respected
personalities in Kano and Abuja to suspend the visit.”
“Save for the time I was in Kano
on condolence visit when the governor’s mother died, I have not been in Kano
for almost three years.
“Police have taken over Kano just
to deny a citizen his fundamental rights. I am surprised that Kano is militaralized
under democratic dispensation; Kano appears like a war zone today.
“I do not fear anybody. I’ve been
a minister of defence; and as minister, the army, the air force and navy
personnel addressed me as ‘sir’.”
In a chat with Dailypost on
Monday, a close aide of Kwankwaso said his principal remains in the ruling
party.
“Oga is still a member of the
APC. However, we are waiting for outcome of the Tinubu peace committee set up
by President Buhari. That’s all I will say for now”.
