Rabiu Kwankwaso and the party\u2019s presidential Flagbearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The crisis which has already began to\u00a0polarise the party along loyalty lines has\u00a0been blamed on what watchers claim high handedness by the presidential aspirant.\u00a0They allege that Gen. Buhari has refused\u00a0to recognise any other power bloc within\u00a0the party especially the Kwankwasiya\u00a0movement which is acclaimed to be one\u00a0of the biggest blocs in the party\u00a0nationwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Political watchers have attributed his\u00a0refusal to handover the party\u2019s flag to the\u00a0state governorship aspirant, Alh. Umar<br \/>\nGanduje during the just concluded\u00a0presidential rally, as a fall out of this feud\u00a0as he was not to disposed to Ganduje &#8216; s<br \/>\nemergence owing to the latter&#8217;s\u00a0membership of the Kwankwasiya.<br \/>\nThis rivalry many believe has been in\u00a0existence since the founding of the APC\u00a0where legacy members of the party were<br \/>\nnot comfortable with the newcomers\u00a0whom they claimed had come to take\u00a0their place. It has also been gathered<br \/>\nthat the lack of trust between Kwankwaso and Buhari may stem from the latter\u2019s comments in 2010 when he called the General a serial coupist.<br \/>\nSpeaking exclusively to our\u00a0correspondent, Mallam Tanko Bamali a\u00a0party stalwart lamented the situation,\u00a0according to him since Buhari&#8217;s\u00a0entrance into the party due to merger,\u00a0the opposition has become divided and\u00a0even caused defection of major\u00a0stakeholders in Kano.\u00a0He further lamented that they had\u00a0expected that after these years of\u00a0venturing into politics, Buhari should\u00a0realised the difference between\u00a0dictatorship and democracy, to adopt\u00a0democratic traits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Mai Gaskiya is not a bad man, his\u00a0problem is that he fails to realise that this\u00a0is politics and you don&#8217;t always have your way, you allow the people decide, but he always insists on what he wants as if he is still in the army. It is this same character that cost him his presidency in previous attempts&#8221;. He acknowledged.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, rumours are rife in the state\u00a0that members ofthe Kwankwasiya\u00a0movement, are already signifying their\u00a0disdain for the behaviour displayed by\u00a0Buhari during the visit and have begun\u00a0strategising towards delivering their\u00a0governorship candidate Alh. Umar\u00a0Ganduje while supporting Goodluck\u00a0Jonathan for the presidency. However\u00a0sources close to the Kano state governor,\u00a0Mallam Rabiu Kwankwaso, have revealed\u00a0the governor has since been moving\u00a0around pillars of his cult like followership\u00a0to calm their nerves so as to abate failure\u00a0in the February polls.<br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #0186ba;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/dailytimes?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=757947450958774\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">\u202a#\u200eDailyTimes\u202c<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\"><a style=\"color: #0186ba;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fancytender?fref=ts#\" target=\"_blank\">See More<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indications are rife that all is not well\u00a0with the Kano state chapter of the All&#8230;\u00a0Progressives Congress ( APC ), as a result of a cold war between the Kano State&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
