A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has disclosed that he and his followers were not rewarded for giving the late former President Muhammadu Buhari almost two million votes.
Kwankwaso lamented that despite putting his lives on the
line to get the number of votes, Buhari’s camp never recognized their hard
work.
In an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday
night, the former Kano State governor said the experience pushed him toward
seeking political change.
He said: “I worked so hard. We brought about 1.9, almost 2
million votes. But as politicians, we are not recognised. We put our lives even
on the line at that time.
“Unfortunately, we could not see any benefit either as
individuals or the constituencies that we represented.”
The former presidential candidate also noted that there are
issues with the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Kwankwaso insisted that this crisis has made Nigerians at
all levels to yearn for change.
He added: “Everybody knows there are issues with this
administration again. And therefore, people are determined at grassroots level,
and even at the level we are operating now, that there should be some level of
changes.”
