Former Kano State Governor and People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential aspirant, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said he and other people that dumped the PDP to support President Muhammadu Buhari in 2014 against the then President Goodluck Jonathan are currently regretting their actions.<\/p>\n
Kwankwaso who was in Owerri, the Imo state capital on a consultation visit to PDP members, condemned President Buhari\u2019s approach to \u201crevving the nation\u2019s economy\u201d.<\/p>\n
The former governor expressed worry over the poor state of infrastructure in the Southeast, adding that the anomaly can only be corrected by a change of government in the center by 2019.<\/p>\n
He was hopeful that the PDP will form government at the center and in many states of the federation next year.<\/p>\n
According to him, Nigerians are fed up with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) \u201cand would be happy seeing PDP return to power\u201d.<\/p>\n
In his words, \u201cfrom North to South, the citizens are looking for a government that would not pay emphasis on religion,ethnicity and culture but national development. PDP\u2019s government in 2019 shall bring development and create the adequate platforms that provide jobs for teeming Nigerians\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been in Southeast in last few days and I want to say that the state of infrastructure in this region is incredible. It is either that the government lacks the capacity to improve the economy or something. Electricity is important in this country. The people need a government that will be just and provide jobs for teeming young Nigerians\u201d.<\/p>\n
In his speech, elder statesman and PDP Board of Trustee (BoT) member, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, described Kwankwaso as a good material for the office of the President.<\/p>\n
He urged Nigerians to join PDP to \u201cvote out a government that had failed the country\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Imo state PDP Chairman, Charles Ezekwem, who was represented by his Deputy,Martin Ejiogu, said that Igbo people would only vote for a presidential candidate that would restructure the country and create an additional state in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
