Kano state governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has indicated his interest to vie for the presidential race in 2015 general elections on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).
He however added that he would only do so if the party leadership finds him suitable to contest the polls.
Kwankwaso who made the declaration while speaking with journalists, affirmed his willingness to take up the task with all sense of responsibility to deliver good governance in the country.
“I would not hesitate to pick up the presidential ticket under our party, APC to vie for the number one seat. And if our party and the party leadership find me suitable for the seat why not, I will take up the challenge.
” Kwankwaso while accusing President Goodluck Jonathan of smuggling a new constitution into the on-going National Conference, insisted that the divide and rule style of the president was geared towards his becoming a life President.
Kwankwaso, stressed that it will be harmful for the country to extend the term of office of the President from the proposed single term to eight years by 2015 when the new constitution if endorsed will become operational.
He further alleged that all the injustices perpetrated by the president were “deliberately targeted at the APC states just to destabilise us and so to achieve his inordinate ambition of becoming the life President.”
