APC Dumps Kwankwaso Over Unrealistic Demands, Sparking Political Realignments in Kano
The recent political developments in Kano saw the APC parting ways with Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor and perceived presidential candidate for 2023. Negotiations between Kwankwaso and APC broke down due to his unrealistic demands, including a 20% control of the party's national structure and a guaranteed vice presidential slot until 2031.
This led to his defection to the NNPP, prompting Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to follow suit. The move has stirred controversy, with critics accusing Kwankwaso of betrayal and raising concerns about religious balance in the upcoming elections.
Bishop Kukah has even rejected Kwankwaso's candidacy due to his political history. The political landscape in Kano and the Northwest region is undergoing significant shifts as the 2023 elections draw closer.
