Politics » Kano APC In Disarray, Kwankwasiya Movment To Support Jonathan by: Patooh(m) .:. Fri, 23 Jan, 2015 - 05:42:06:am GMT
Indications are rife that all is not well with the Kano state chapter of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ), as a result of a cold war between the Kano State governor, Alh . Rabiu Kwankwaso and the party's presidential Flagbearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. The crisis which has already began to polarise the party along loyalty lines has been blamed on what watchers claim high handedness by the presidential aspirant. They allege that Gen. Buhari has refused to recognise any other power bloc within the party especially the Kwankwasiya movement which is acclaimed to be one of the biggest blocs in the party nationwide. Political watchers have attributed his refusal to handover the party's flag to the state governorship aspirant, Alh. Umar Ganduje during the just concluded presidential rally, as a fall out of this feud as he was not to disposed to Ganduje ‘ s emergence owing to the latter's membership of the Kwankwasiya. This rivalry many believe has been in existence since the founding of the APC where legacy members of the party were not comfortable with the newcomers whom they claimed had come to take their place. It has also been gathered that the lack of trust between Kwankwaso and Buhari may stem from the latter's comments in 2010 when he called the General a serial coupist. Speaking exclusively to our correspondent, Mallam Tanko Bamali a party stalwart lamented the situation, according to him since Buhari's entrance into the party due to merger, the opposition has become divided and even caused defection of major stakeholders in Kano.
