Tinubu: APC Presidential Ticket Given To The Wrong Person – Kwankwaso

 

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has stated that the All Progressives Congress gave its presidential ticket to the wrong person.

 

The former Governor of Kano State submitted this while addressing a bloc of supporters yesterday in Ebonyi State.

 

The presidential candidate was at the old Presidential Lodge Abakaliki on Wednesday to inaugurate his presidential campaign office ahead of the forthcoming general elections.

 

Kwankwaso recalled how he contributed to the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 as the presidential candidate of the APC.

 

He noted that Buhari, at the time, won and was fortunate to get the party’s ticket for a second term and equally won the 2019 polls.

 

Kwankwaso, however, was worried that the ruling party has now fielded a former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its presidential candidate for the 2023 poll.

 

The presidential candidate, however, did not speak in detail about why he referred to the APC presidential flagbearer as the wrong choice for the ruling party.

 

Kwankwaso said Nigerians had a bad experience under the administration of the PDP before APC came to power in 2015, but that the experience had worsened in the last 7-year reign of the APC.

 

He said: “We were five governors that started APC to produce President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. Unfortunately, when we were angry with PDP, APC became worse. And one big mistake APC made was giving its presidential ticket to the wrong person.
