A political group in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), known as Southern Mandate of Nigeria (SMN) has called on the former Kano state governor and Senator representing Kano Central Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to get ready to contest the presidential race in 2019 general elections. Th e group said that Nigerians were fed up with what is described as “divisive leadership, hence, the fi rm believe that Sen. Kwankwaso can rescue the nation economically and politically,’ adding that ‘it is clear from the body language of Nigerians that there is a strong trust for Kwankwaso to reposition the country.
“ In a statement signed in Abuja yesterday by the National Coordinator of the group Comrade Ikonomwan Francis, said Kwankwaso has become a household name in the country backed up by his numerous achievements as a former governor, hence the need to manage the popularity to realise his 2019 presidential ambition. “In view of the turbulent times Nigeria is enmeshed in due to corrupt leadership of PDP and Buharis leadership of a sleeping giant ; life has been almost a hell for Nigerians, we are therefore expectant of a New Leadership that will bring back our smiles as Nigerians. “It is our fi rm believe that Kwankwaso will provide solutions to most of the ills of the present administration, he will put food once again on the table of Nigerians.
“Nigerians are hungry and thirsty for a paradigm shift, we want a change. Th erefore, we have fi rm believe that Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s credentials meet our expectations”.
