Mr. Rabiu Kwankwaso-the immediate past governor of Kano said that he deliberately avoided the APC national convention held on Saturday and Sunday to avoid breakdown of law and order.
Mr. Kwankwaso said he and his supporters intended to attend the convention but changed their minds because the outgoing national executive council led by John Odigie-Oyegun refused to recognise the congresses that favoured his loyalists at the state, local government and wards in Kano.
He further stated that presenting themselves 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.
He congratulated the newly elected national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomole, and others who emerged leaders of the party.
It was reported on Saturday that Mr Kwankwaso visited former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a chieftain of the PDP and presidential aspirant, at his Asokoro, Abuja residence.
