ABUJA- Following yesterday’s defection of the G-5 governors and the
Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led nPDP to the All Progressive Congress, APC,
Vanguard learnt the APC is planning to present Governors Rabiu Kwankwaso
of Kano State and Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State as its candidates
for the 2015 Presidential election.
Vanguard gathered that the party
wants to take advantage of Fashola’s performance in Lagos State and
Kwankwaso’s influence as a governor of the northern state of Kano.
According to a source, although the candidates are both Muslims, the
party hopes the feat recorded by the Moshood Abiola/Babagana Kingibe
1993 ticket, before the election was annulled, will be repeated.
Another option for the party, the source added, is the drafting of
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State into the race for his
achievements, popularity and acceptability in the country.
