Former governor of Kano State and
Presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Rabiu
Kwankwaso has dismissed the claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that All
Progressives Congress, APC, defectors are weak.
Buhari on Tuesday while accepting
the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest the 2019
presidential election said that those who defected from the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to other political parties, were the selfish and weakest members
of the ruling party.
Buhari was quoted saying “The
weakest whose sense of expectation do not align with our vision have exited our
party.
“We now have a party of strong
and patriotic people who are ready to work for a strong Nigeria.”
Reacting to Buhari’s statement,
Kwankwaso speaking through his Principal Secretary, Hajia Binta Spikin
challenged Buhari to come plain and state names of defectors he was referring
to.
Spikin said Kwankwaso was neither
weak nor selfish contrary to Buhari’s statement.
The statement read: “The
President should have come plain so that we would know who exactly he was
referring to. But my leader and the Rabi’u Kwankwaso that I know is not weak
because his achievements are there to speak for him.
“What he has been able to achieve
in Kano in four years alone defines him as a strong, visionary, compassionate
leader who knows what he wants and how to get it.
“He is the only leader that I
know who has been able to put Kano on a sound footing and erect infrastructure
projects – over 6,000 of them between 2011 and 2015; they are there for you to
touch, feel and use. A weak person cannot achieve that.
“He cannot be selfish too because
he remains the only governor of Kano who did not collect the security vote. The
man’s cult-like followership is because he is strong and people know that he is
not selfish, and he can deliver.”
