Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, Former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor elected under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and other leaders of the party Thursday held a high level talk with Kano state governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso in a bid to get him to crossover to their party.
The visit particular by General Buhari puts paid to reports that the former Head of State is not comfortable with a possible alliance between the APC and the New PDP, especially against the backdrop of reports that Governor Kwankwaso may be considered for the presidential ticket.
According to one of the associates, who pleaded anonymity, “if there is any resistance to the planned fusion, which is also intended to bring the G7+5 nPDP governors into the APC, it will be coming from the ‘old guards’ of Buhari associates, who are no longer relevant to his political ministry”.
Speaking on the visit to the Kano governor, Interim National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, said that leaders of the APC decided to come for solidarity with the governor and others because of the persecution they were suffering in their party.
Akande spoke at Kano Government House on Thursday after holding about one hour meeting with Kano state Governor with leaders of the APC.
He said “We are proud to showcase our own party, APC as likeminded party of people like you”.
Details of the meeting will be brought to you later
