Former Kano PDP governorship aspirant, Ja’afar Sani Bello, has cast doubt on the national political influence of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, suggesting that any party he joins could struggle under his leadership.
Speaking on Daily Politics, Bello argued that Kwankwaso lacks the nationwide appeal of other prominent politicians who recently joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
“Atiku Abubakar joined the ADC without a caveat, Peter Obi joined without a caveat, Nasir El-Rufai joined without a caveat. All of them command national profiles far above Kwankwaso,” Bello said.
He added that Kwankwaso’s political footprint is heavily concentrated in Kano State.
“In the last election, Atiku Abubakar garnered 7 million votes, Peter Obi 6 million votes. Kwankwaso got only 1.14 million, and 90 percent of that was from Kano.”
“He essentially has one state to vouch for,” Bello warned.
