Former Governor of Kano state, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has, Tuesday, reportedly defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, party to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
According to reports not yet authenticated, Senator Kwankwaso defected with 10 Kano state lawmakers.
His defection may not be unconnected with his ordeals in the ruling party.
FLASH:
Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso and 10 Kano state lawmakers defect from APC back to PDP today.

Recall that in March last year, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kano State chapter had initiated moves to suspend him over what it termed anti-party activities.

The then chairman, Kano chapter of the party, Alhaji Haruna Umar Doguwa, had told newsmen in Kano that the senator had, during a visit to the state, allegedly exhibited actions capable of compromising the party’s unity.
According to Doguwa: “The case of party indiscipline by Kwankwaso would be thoroughly investigated and dealt with in accordance with the constitution of our party.”
However, the true reasons why the Senator may have defected to the opposition party is yet to be ascertained.
It would be recalled that sometime in November 2013, 5 governors elected on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC). It was an unprecedented move in Nigeria’s political history and formed the foundation for APC’s victory at the 2015 general elections.
The governors who led their supporters and political structures to APC were Governors Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers).
They were joined by other political heavyweights such as Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Senator Bukola Saraki, the then Speaker of the House of Representatives – Aminu Tambuwal, Shaba Lafiagi, Mohammed Ndume, Danjuma Goje, Abdullahi Adam, Bindo Jubrilla and Abdullahi Gobir.
Others include Dr. Samuel Ortom, former Speaker Aminu Bello Masari, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu and Barrister Simon Lalong. In fact, of the 17 state governors elected on the platform of APC in Northern Nigeria only 7 are not ex-PDP members..

He's welcome!

He should note that we won't give him our party ticket for 2019

Kwankwassiyya2019 loading if true.
I am impressed with the works of Kwankwaso at KANO.
Wish he will translate same in federal level.
He is better than Ati.ku or Bubu.
With Kwankwaso as the PDP presidential flag bearer, PDP can take over from APC come 2019.

PDP ti take over

Are you sure? .... If true, then 2019 will be very interesting.. But it's serves Kwankwaso right, you don't bite the finger that fed you no matter what..

And some youth here on this platform insulting themselves because of these politicians.

All this party hoping is weird.

Ghen ghen

Nigerian politicians na wa!

It is all about self interest. He is preparing himself for presidential election in 2019.

He will soon be on the move to Mega Party sooner than later.

I won't be surprised if its proven to be true.

The ordeal Kwankwaso has endured from Ganduje and his group is very humiliating. Kwankwaso is too big for Ganduje to be rubbishing anyhow

Hummm PDP and APC we no understand u guys

Who in his right senses will want to be associated with APC
A party established on lies and propaganda
A party of rogues at high places

APC has no agenda for Nigeria and Nigerians except the empowerment of herdsmen and importation of grasses from overseas

The same guy that was in Oshogbo?

Well it is vanguard sha

They are making a mega party soon. He will soon dump PDP for them.

All Nigerian politicians are roques
The system made them so
We worship thieves here

That's the reason the country is doomed

Kwankwaso, tambuwal (and one other guy whose name eludes me) are PDP through and through.

honestly speaking, I do not fancy kwankwaso as president. I believe he is down low unapologetically pro north. But more importantly, he is running the risk of becoming another atiku.

That's his business

What of if it later turn out to be true will you apologise to Vanguard? I wonder why a learned person like Seun will employ such a biased person like you to moderate a political section of his business.

May God bless Lalasticlala for always being neutral and doing his job well

Good for him

Let the game begin

Does that mean Buhari should begin to pack his bag ni?

Vibrant opposition is key in checkmating this useless APC government.

This isn't fair,kwankwaso should be wary of his actions.because he might end up sending baba to his early grave.for the shock of losing a whole kano that was instrumental to baba's victory could kabooley him.

@ Post: Watch how the "messianic jews" wânk on this forgetting he's a Kunu sipping hausa/fulani born to rule gworo chewing almajiri.

Farewell Kwankwaso. Wish you well in the days ahead.

This is bad for our Democracy.

Truth is talking!

You can't win federal office by subjugation of Igbos around you. After the racist Sarduana Sokoto, Kwankwaso has proven himself to be racist who goes all over Nigeria bailing, releasing and paying criminals that had been convincted of crime against southerners just because those criminals are Hausa like him. We don't forget.
