Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) chieftain, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is hopeful of securing the party’s vice-presidential ticket, a move that could eventually position Kano State to produce a president.
The former Kano governor spoke over the weekend during an interview on Premier Radio.
He said, “By God’s grace, the next election will be unlike anything that has ever happened in our state and country, especially if I secure the ticket and my name is on the ballot.”
“Since the First Republic, despite our struggles and political wisdom, Kano has never produced a vice president. This is both disappointing and deeply saddening, but by God’s grace, it will be corrected.
“Kano state will rightfully secure this position, which will open the door for our state to eventually produce the president of this country.
Recall that earlier this month, Kwankwaso and Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, left the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the party.
Kwankwaso suggested that if the former Anambra governor is elected president in 2027 and he becomes vice-president, the arrangement would position him to succeed Obi in 2031.
