Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has revealed that his daughter urged him to work with former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, during the 2023 general elections.
Kwankwaso made the disclosure during an interview on ARISE
News on Monday while speaking on the changing political attitudes among young
Nigerians.
According to him, many young people are becoming less
concerned about ethnicity and religion and are instead focusing on leadership
and governance.
“Even in the 2023 election, in my own house, my own daughter
was telling me to go and work with Peter Obi,” Kwankwaso said.
The former governor noted that political preferences among
younger Nigerians often differ from those of older generations, adding that
many political leaders have failed to understand the growing influence of
youths and social media on the country’s political direction.
“You have leaders who hardly have any contact with the young
men and women,” he stated.
Kwankwaso added that younger voters are increasingly
demanding credible leadership capable of addressing the country’s challenges
rather than relying on ethnic or religious sentiments.
“People are talking of religion. Some people are talking of
ethnicity, but the younger people are looking for the right leadership for this
country. And I think they are absolutely right,” he added
