The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement and Presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, has advised delegates to ensure only the right person emerges as the flagbearer of the party for the 2019 general election.
He gave the advice at the Secretariat of the party in Sokoto at the weekend.
Kwankwaso cautioned them against voting based on sentiment, saying that what they sow was what they would harvest at the end of the election.
“Make sure you elect somebody who can not only win the election but who can deliver after the election,” he added.
However, in an interview with newsmen, Kwankwaso said he was the “right person” looking at his antecedents.
“I am highly experienced, educated and exposed. I contested election 15 times and won 13 times,” he added.
The former Minister of Defence and two terms Governor of Kano state, bragged that “when you put the other aspirants together they are just an equation equal to Kwankwaso.”
He also chided President Muhammadu Buhari for not doing anything to address the economy and killings in the country.
He said that Nigerians could no longer sleep with their two eyes close because of the insecurity while hunger was virtually everywhere in the country.
Kwankwaso said he left APC because he lost everything to his successor in the state, describing former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau as “impatient” for defecting to APC.
“If they stay in PDP, I would have given them all the positions allocated to me to share among themselves as I did in 2015. But I thank God because now I am in control of the whole party structures from the ward level up to the state level and I have a good rapport with the national leaders of the party,” he said.
