A former Governor of Kano State and Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso has explained why his alliance with Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party collapsed.
Kwankwaso, who spoke in an interview with newsmen said he turned down the request to serve as running mate to Obi because the mood of the North does not support a Southern presidency.
According to him, most northerners wanted power to remain in the North even after President Muhammadu Buhari must have completed his eight years in office
When told that many young Nigerians were unhappy with him that the planned alliance with Obi failed, Kwankwaso said: “Yes, I did everything possible for that alliance to work for many obvious reasons. In Kwankwassiya, we are not in a hurry.”
