Bashir Ahmad, former media aide to late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, says the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Vice-Presidential candidate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso cannot stay in any party he does not enjoy total control.
Ahmad made this statement in a post on his verified X handle on Monday.
He was reacting to the recent crisis in the North West ADC, particularly in Kano state, where the party replaced some of the candidates.
The replacement was said to be done to implement a power-sharing agreement reached between factions of the Kwankwasiyya Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections
Airing his own opinion, Ahmad said, “I have told many people that Senator Kwankwaso cannot comfortably remain in any political party where he does not enjoy total control, particularly over the Kano State party structure.
“This was one of the major reasons he left the APC in 2018, despite the fact that there was arguably no better political platform available for him to advance his ambition.
“For Kwankwaso, maintaining complete dominance over the party machinery in Kano has always been a non-negotiable priority.”
