Atiku, PDP and Kwankwaso, NNPP

Rabiu Kwankwaso chased away three prominent Islamic clerics allegedly sent by Atiku Abubakar to persuade him to step down from the presidential race,  Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has said.

The Islamic clerics are among prominent persons including former Heads of State Galadima claims have been sent by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, to persuade Kwankwaso, the NNPP presidential candidate, to quit the race and support him.

The assertions were made by Galadima in an interview with Trust TV.

GWG.ng reports that Galadima was himself a prominent supporter of Atiku in the 2019 presidential race.

Asserting the superiority of Kwankwaso over Atiku in the race, Galadima said:

He said, “We will defeat Atiku in Jada Local Government of Adamawa State. Atiku is not in this race. Yes on paper he is but he is not a candidate. How would win, through what?

“Atiku is using religious leaders to appeal to Kwankwaso to step down for him, Atiku used former heads of state and prominent people to appeal to Kwankwaso, Atiku used traditional rulers, spent billions of naira to persuade them to go and talk to Kwankwaso to step down for him.

“He used northern groups to try to manipulate and say that they interviewed the presidential candidates and found Atiku to be the best. They know we know, they could not achieve their vision.

“We are more northerners than them. Kwankwaso is from Kano and I am from Gashua. My village to the extreme part of the north is about 50 kilometers, so I am northerner than them and I am older.

“Recently he (Atiku) sent some three prominent Islamic scholars to Kwankwaso’s house to kneel down for him pleaded to step down, we sent them away. Yes, who are they? We respect that regalia but if they remove it, we will ask small boys to deal with them.”
