ABUJA- STRONG indications emerged yesterday that – following yesterday’s
defection of some governors in the G7 group and Abubakar Kawu Baraje
led defunct splinter group of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the
All Progressive Congress, APC, – arrangements were being made by the
opposition to have governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State and Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos State to run for 2015 Presidential election.
Vanguard
gathered that the party wants to take advantage of the performance of
Fashola in Lagos and that of Kwankwaso who is a northerner and from a
state with a very large population.
Not minding that they are
both Muslims, the source said that it happened in 1993 when it was
Moshood Abiola and Babagana Kingibe who are both Muslims and they ran
for election and won, but was annulled. It was also gathered that APC
may also beg governor Adams Oshiomhole because of his achievements in
the state, his influence, popularity and acceptability by Nigerians to
run for the presidency in the 2015 Presidential election.
Kwankwaso was one of the governors who finally dumped the PDP yesterday for the APC.
