Kano State governor and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has declared that it wont be hard to oust President Jonathan from Aso Rock in 2015.
He said Jonathan is “the easiest sitting president for any opposition party to defeat in a free and fair election.”
Kwankwaso made this declaration while speaking with newsmen in Ilorin, Kwara State last night.
He said, “Jonathan is the easiest sitting president to defeat in an election because of insecurity in the land because the first and foremost responsibility of any government is security of the people.
“You people are not in the front line and that is why you may not understand the gravity of the situation. As I speak with you some people are on the hills, in the forest, under mountains taking refuge; they are internally displaced. Just this Monday we sent six trucks of relief materials to our people in refuge camps in Niger Republic.
“Unfortunately we have leaders in this country who have divided the county along religious and ethnic lines. All other countries are making progress but here we are being fed with statistics that cannot be verified. I think Jonathan should be happy if we unseat him because it will help him to go and rest.
“Change is possible once you get the right agent of change. What has happened in Kano state for instance has never happened and what made it possible was that the people had a new governor in 2011; it was that simple. We need people who are disciplined in Nigeria; people who mean what they say and stick to it.”
He said, “one of the greatest mistakes of the PDP is the way they did their consensus; governors and other stakeholders just sat down and endorsed one person, people came from different places just to sit in Abuja and endorse what was done in the Villa. That is not democracy. I think founding fathers of the PDP will be sad in their graves over this.
“But in any case I have said it before that PDP will rule for only 16 years and that 16 years will lapse by May 2015. They will pack out by 2015 and that is it.”
