2015: Kwankwaso woos Anambra APC… May pick Ngige as running mate
Indications that Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, may contest the 2015 presidential election with Senator Chris Ngige as his running mate if he emerges the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate emerged at the weekend, as his campaign team stormed Anambra State to woo party members ahead of the party’s primary election.
Though Kwankwaso’s delegation to the state led by his Special Adviser on Security, Dr. Danyaro Yakassai, did not make it public, sources in the closed door meeting with the six-man delegation held with Anambra APC executives disclosed that the Kwankwaso/Ngige ticket was part of the discussions.
Addressing APC members in the state, the delegation stated that fielding Kwankwaso would be an advantage for the party, as it would guarantee the party’s victory in the 2015 presidential election.
Yakassai stressed that there was no better person to hold the ticket of the party than Kwankwaso because he grew through the ranks, having been a member of the House of Representatives, a deputy speaker of the House, defence minister and an envoy of the country to Darfur.
The delegation, which included a former Commissioner for Information, two serving members of the House of Representatives, a former member of the House of Representatives and a youth leader, first held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the party in the state before addressing the members.
The leader of the delegation told their party members in Anambra that the country needed a man like Kwankwaso, who would heal the past wounds of the country, engineer genuine reconciliation and foster infrastructure development.
However, speaking with newsmen on the likelihood of a Kwankwaso/Ngige ticket, a member of the delegation and member representing Kura, Madobi, Garimalan Federal Constituency in Kano, Muktar Chiromawa, noted that it would not be a bad idea.
Chiromawa said Ngige and Kwankwaso shared a lot in common, stressing that it would be a plus for Nigerians and APC in particular if the duo were fielded in the forthcoming presidential election.
