Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin says there is resistance within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano to the possible return of former governor of the state, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to the party.
Jibrin made this known on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He explained that some APC stakeholders in Kano are not in support of Kwankwaso’s entry, especially those nursing governorship ambitions.
“If you say Kwankwaso is moving into APC, or we are moving to APC, even within the APC in Kano, you have a lot of people that wouldn’t want him to come, perhaps those who want to be governor, or those who don’t want to be governor, etcetera,” he said.
The lawmaker, however, noted that discussions on Kwankwaso’s political alignment were still ongoing.
“I’ve tried to ensure that in the interest of Kano, and by extension, Nigeria, there is some sort of stability in our polity. It is quite a complex process. But everyone knows that I’ve always advocated, even right from the beginning of the government, for us to work with a government of national unity. I never stop at that,” he added.
