Defections: Oshiomhole Shall Eat His Words In 2019 – Senator Kwankwaso

Senator Rabiu Kwankaso

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC., has been slammed over his recent comments, by members of the party who had defected to the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP. 

Oshiomhole in a statement, had described the defectors before State House Correspondents in Abuja, as ‘big masquerades with no electoral value’ in their constituencies.

The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, said Oshiomhole should wait and see his political popularity, in 2019.

Kwankwaso, who was among the 14 senators that dumped the APC during the week, has asked the APC chairman to wait till 2019 to see what they could prove.

The Senator while speaking to newsmen in Abuja through one of his aides, Binta Sipikin, said yesterday that Oshiomhole should not be in a hurry to test their political weight but should wait till the next general elections.

Sipikin, who said her boss’ electoral values would speak out in 2019, stated:

“Let me remind him on how Kwankwaso nearly emerged the APC presidential flagbearer in 2015, which clearly shows how popular Kwankwaso is.

“It is not a fiction that Kwankwaso in 2015 APC primaries in Lagos came second to Buhari which shows clearly in Nigerian politics he is a force to be reckoned with”.

Binta Sipikin, while speaking further, promised that Kwankwaso and his followers would surely show a political difference under the PDP, which he helped to form.

“Let me say clearly that by 2019, we will show to the whole world that Kwankwaso is truly a force to reckon with when it comes to Nigerian politics”.
