A former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has revealed why he missed the APC convention which held yesterday and today.
According to Premium Times, the former governor asserted that he missed it because he didn’t want there to be a breakdown in law and order.
In a statement, he said: “I wish to inform the leadership of the party and the general public that we had wanted to be part of the National Convention but regrettably all the congresses that we conducted at the wards, Local Government Councils and at the State level were not recognized by the outgoing National Executive Council of the party.
“Therefore, I felt that presenting ourselves at such an important event will not be in the overall interest of the entire convention that is assuming we are allowed access into the convention ground.
“Because there are high chances that our presence could create embarrassments and a lot of friction similar or even worse than what occurred in the pavilions of delegations from Imo and Delta States during yesterday’s convention. However, as the new EXCO settles to start the efforts of uniting the party we wish you the very best,” he said.
Kwankwaso also congratulated new national leader Adams Oshiomhole on his emergence after he was appointed yesterday without opposition.
