Kwankwaso’s destination yet unknown
Although ex-Governor Kwankwaso appears to have made up his mind to dump the APC, his destination remains unclear.
A source said it could be either PDP or SDP.
The hijack of the APC structure in Kano State by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has left Kwankwaso’s prospect in the ruling party bleak.
A source said each time he is advised by his colleagues to remain in APC, his usual response is: “What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to remain where I am being maltreated?”
Whatever is his choice of party; Kwankwaso may walk alone because the two other Senators from the state, Kabiru Gaya and Jibrin Barau and many members of the House of Representatives may not follow him.
Kwankwaso’s media aide, Hajiya Binta Spikin however said: “My principal remains in APC, he has not given a hint of defecting to another party.”
A party source said: “In Kano, it is about individual survival. Some of us prefer to be with the governor to get our ticket back for re-election. The era of dying because of any politician is gone.”
A member of the House of Representatives said: “some of us from Kano have not decided because we want to give the incoming National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole a chance to redress some of the wrongs in the party and reinvent APC.
“You know the outgoing National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun ,was all his life a civil servant, he cannot negotiate. But as a trade unionist, Oshiomhole is a powerful negotiator and having been a governor for eight years, he knows what to do to reconcile all.”
