Uche Secondus, national chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso, a serving senator,
say it is over for President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC).
This followed the massive
reception that Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate, received in
Kano on Sunday, known as a stronghold of the APC.
Buhari secured 1..9 million
votes, his highest, in Kano in the 2015 when Rabiu Kwankwaso was the governor.
But Kwankwaso, who led Atiku’s
team into the ancient city on Sunday, declared that it was all over for the
APC. He said the mammoth had sent a message to Aso Rock that PDP has taken over
Kano.
“Today, Kano people and
particularly, the youths have shown that Kano is for PDP and Kwankwasiyya,” he
said.
Atiku who got into Kano at 11am
did not get the opportunity to address the crowd until 6pm. Journey which
should ordinarily take minutes lasted several hours.
In his speech, Atiku thanked the
people for their support, promising to transform the country if elected next
week.
He appealed to the crowd to vote
for all PDP candidates in the election.
“Are you going to vote for PDP?
If you vote for PDP from top to bottom and bottom to top, PDP government will
revitalize business and the moribund industries in Kano. We will also boost
agriculture,” he said.
“I will ensure that among my
priorities would be the revitalization of agriculture, industries and
commercial activities so as to boost the economy which has been killed by the
APC government.”
Atiku said Kano is the commercial
nerve of the north but has been experiencing backwardness under the APC
government.
