Buhari has his block votes in kano and does not in any way rely on Ganduje.

Not only block vote, what about cement vote?

Juliusmalema:



The last thing I will do is to Google about a terrorist like buhari.....imagine.

and therefore you shall remain ignorant and continue fantasizing about a Buhari defeat in 2019 that is statistically improbable. Those who choose to enlighten themselves either strategize because they now know what they are dealing with or prepare for 4 more years.

I can't ooo.....googling about buhari is like negotiating with a terrorist online.

If you are waging a war you must 1st understand your opponent. Your attitude of deliberate ignorance amd mudslinging can only end in defeat. Winning elections is not about name calling. What didnt they call Buhari in 2015...did he not still win? You want to try the name calling Buhari is a terrorist strategy again in 2019 or you want to understand where his power comes from and where he is weak?

That's politics for you in naija


The deputy governor of Kano State, Hafiz Abubakar, on Sunday tendered his resignation amidst crisis with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Speculations were rife last week that Mr Abubakar had defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In the resignation letter dated August 5, 2018 and exclusively obtained by DAILY NIGERIAN, the deputy governor said he had desired to remain in office until the end of their tenure, but chose to resign due to irreconcilable differences with the governor.

“I regret to write and notify you of my decision to resign my position as deputy governor of Kano State with effect from Saturday 4th August, 2018.
Your Excellency, I would have desired to remain up to the end of our tenure in order to fulfill the aspirations and expectations of the good people of Kano State as expressed in their mandate given to our joint ticket in 2015, but with the current and persistent irreconcilable differences on matters relating to governance and government operations, personal opinions, and the concept of, and respect for, democratic ideals and values, it would be unfair to my conscience, to the good people of Kano State and to you as the head of the government to continue to remain in my position as the Deputy Governor of Kano State
Your Excellency would recall several instances I had to draw your attention to the need to understand and appreciate these differences in order to avoid drifting into the kind of unnecessary crisis we are facing today, but to no avail,” the letter read in part.

Recall that on July 30, Mr Abubakar petitioned the police and State Security Service, SSS, over threat to his life and plans by the state government to stage rally against him.

Mr Abubakar, a loyalist of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been at loggerheads with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for siding with Mr Kwankwaso in the political impasse in the state.

Speaking exclusively with DAILY NIGERIAN on Wednesday night, Mr Abubakar debunked the rumours making round on social media, saying he would take decision at appropriate time.

Mr Abubakar may likely vie for the PDP governorship ticket as he would be, upon defection, the most ranking member in the Kwankwasiyya movement afte
r his godfather, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

You are the first person to make a realistic comment.

i have watched the politics in Kano and most northern states for a while

Even kwakwasor only managed to retain Kano for the second time in 2007 by merger 70000 votes with heavy rigging and federal might, but Buhari is a religion in Kano

This your permutation might not work. Do u think Kano people will be dumb to have voted Buhari who is from Katsina if kwakwanso is nominated by Pdp as president. Secondly, do not forget the forces like shakarau, Sanusi and kwankwaso movement. These forces will beat Buhari hands down.

Don't forget that Buhari won because of merger and secondly he is a northerner as well as a Muslim. Abokis don't joke with their own. Jonathan was from the minority region and a Christian too. If pdp decides to use kwankwaso as president, I believe Kano people will think twice before voting Buhari. No 1 he is their son and they will benefit heavily from him. No one will leave his son and vote for a stranger. Secondly, with forces like shakarau, sanusi and kwakwanso then No Story. I believe I have convinced you with this solid points of mine.

No more 1.9 million votes for buhari.

Just like no more million votes for PDP in Akwa Ibom,Anambra,Ekiti,Ondo,Edo etc

Maybe but he will still win albeit by a low margin. Although, Kwankwaso and Shekarau are a force in Kano but Buhari

is a god
kiss the truth!

why didn't the god win 3 times previously until he was helped by Tinubu and co?

my friend you are free to beleive what you want and you may be right but please understand the difference between "hope" and "beleive". Beleive usually has a reasonong backing it. Buhari defeated Yaradua and defeated Atiku by a factor or 10 Buhari votes for every 1 Atiku vote in Adamawa, why did Adamawa people vote for a stranger? You may be right, i dont claim to have in depth knowledge of kano politics, what I do know (because these are facts, published figures) is that in every election in kano that he has contested, even when the gov is from a different party, despite federal might, as an opposition candidate, Buhari has always won hands down!! Maybe it will change this time, that is possible but until then if I were to bet I will bet with what is proven. kwakanso's popularity against Buhari has never been tested. I dont doubt kwakanso's popularity in kano but Buhari is still the most popular politician in the North until proven otherwise. You are taken a chance on what has not been proven, i am basing my submission on what has worked 4 times. Like I said to someone earlier to understand the meaning of Sai baba and mai gaskiya is to understand that to the masses in the north buhari is not a human being but a god like spirit. Understand that the people who are doing the voting do not reason like you and I. that is why we educated people always get it wrong and the Dinos, the fayose's the kashamus always get elected in our own backyard...because they understand their people not all this story we are talking and yet we want to be telling the world how people of a differnt orientation should vote. If you are a christian and Jesus is contesting an election against a popular man from your state, who will you vote for...exactly!!!! Some of these everyday reasoning does not work when you are dealing in cult like religious followership.

sanusi has no political prowess yet in Kano

Shakaru supporters are also Buhari's main supporters, which is the reason why PDP did so badly in Kano in the last election.

Kwakwasor movement is not up to 300t people in Kano

Hausa don't vote like you think, they vote for the most respected regardless Of local affiliations.

Hence, their block votes have remained relevant for whosoever is able to get it for years in Nigerian politics.

If you choose between facts and probability. During Jonathan regime. He was meant to win due to federal might or rigging but thinks turn out differently. Atiku is not a core northerner and he is from a minority state. He is not an hardened Muslim. Anyway 2019 is close. All I know is that I can't vote a stranger to the detriment of my son

TimeManager:

Buhari is a god. No Emir can upturn his supremacy any where in the core North.

Kano 2011 Governorship election he got 7.5% while at the Presidential, Kwakwanso supported him against Shekarau.

When he wins remember someone on nairaland told you so and maybe then you will begin to understand that you only have 1 vote so your way of thinking does not matter. What matters is what and how the multitude think because they outnumber you 10 to 1.

Have you checked the presidential results

PDP came a distance third to CPC

It was only in the local elections that both kwakwasor and Shakaru's man ANNP shared Buhari's Supporters, by then Buhari had abandoned ANNP

Kwakwasor won by only 70000

Look at the results very well bro

Buhari was beaten blue-black during the governorship. He gained a pitiable 7.5%.

During the Presidential, Kwankwaso supported Buhari Shekarau. The Northern Elders Forum adopted Bihari as concensus candidate for the Presidential.

My friend speak English, how can Buhari be defeated in an election he did not contest? Do you not understand our English? What we are saying is kano gov can go one way or another depending on who is contesting but in every election Buhari contests for president, he always wins kano by a landslide.

CPC had no local structures

They only relied on Buhari and they fielded a candidate that was not popular, so ANNP and PDP shared Buhari's supporters

You are high on something cheap, Kwakwasor didn't support Buhari in 2011

This is just a common sense. How do u vote out your son for a stranger. If that is done then Kano is a sorry case. I will tell you that the forces will mobilise for their son. Buhari won the highest Vote becos the contender was from the south and a Christian. At worst which might not happen is share of vote from the state. Before u quote me, I am a Yoruba man and never a partisan. Just making common sense. I am an analyst.

you have just proven my point, once you hear your religious leader you are unwilling to entertain any discussion, your brain shuts down, same with buhari's followers. The same way you said leave Jesus out of this is the same way the northern masses will shut down the brain at anything anti-buhari. Now you understand why you cannot use your own thought process to predict the action of someone who does not think like you especially when dealing with a religious, spiritual or cult leader.

Do you know how many Igbos that are in Kano? Have you been to No Man's Land, Kano before? Even almajiris can't try their carelessness there.

Kwankwanso and the entire Northern establishment supported Buhari as sole candidate in 2011.

But Shekarau's boy Takai came 2nd losing to Kwankwanso with only 68k votes. So why didn't Buhari replicate the same for Lawan his boy?

So the supposed 400000+ Igbos in Kano couldn't vote for him 2015, you are a joke bro

Kwakwasor supported Jonathan in 2011 With hope he might be given the chance to contest for PDP presidential ticket in 2015

it is an open secret.

Why did you think Kwakwasor defected into APC to begin with?

Why did you think he is going back to PDP now?
