Kwankwaso Never Handed Kano to Any Presidential Candidate, Says Buhari’s Former Aide

Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has asserted that a leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has never successfully secured Kano State for any presidential candidate.

Ahmad, who once served President Muhammadu Buhari, described the claim as a “stubborn political fact.”

In a post on X, he responded to the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba Ahmed, who said the party had rejected Kwankwaso and Obi.

According to Ahmad: “Let me remind the concerned individuals of this stubborn political fact, history clearly shows that Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has never successfully delivered Kano State to any presidential candidate.”

“Politically, I am not for Peter Obi or Rabiu Kwankwaso, but let’s be honest, does the PRP today have candidates more popular or politically relevant than these two individuals?”

Both Obi and Kwankwaso are now members of the NDC after leaving the African Democratic Congress.
