Former House of Representatives Member, AbdulMunin Jibrin has said that only New Nigeria People’s Party,NNPP presidential candidate,Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso says Rabiu Kwankwaso, is the only candidate that the northern part of the country will support in the forthcoming general elections.
This was as he reinstated that, Kwankwaso has inherited the twelve millions votes of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Jibrin spoke on Friday while featuring on Channels Television program, Politics Today
Reacting to the speculations of a possible merger between his principal and the candidate of All Progressives Congress,Bola Tinubu,Jibrin,said the former governor is not considering merging with the APC.
Kwankwaso Campaign Council spokesperson said no presidential candidate will get more votes than Kwankwaso in the northern region of the country.
“We have debunked these lies over and over again. It is an attempt to give a wrong impression to the public for one or two parties to be able to raise their standing in public,” he said.
“Kwankwaso is a practical politician, we are serious-minded people. We are not in this race for anyone and I have said it over and over again.
“People should disregard all these rumours that ‘Kwankwaso is working for Asiwaju, We are going to merge with APC’.
“How will he do that? Somebody who is controlling the heart of the north. Somebody who is the beneficiary of the 12 million Buhari’s votes.
“Kwankwaso is the most popular person, most loved. He is the person who is going to control those votes. Now look at the dynamics of the election today, there is no sitting governor in the northern part of the country that is contesting for the presidency so every governor has its peculiar challenges in his state.
“What the governors are interested in is to deliver their states. They know it is dangerous for you within your states to say you are going against Kwankwaso because Kwankwaso has his own direct connection with the masses.
“In the entire northern part of the country, nobody is going to get the quantum of votes, Kwankwaso is going to pull out.”
