Kano Politicians Burn Broom As Kwankwaso Defect To PDP From APC

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso

Rabiu Kwankwaso’s Defection Causes Reaction In Nigeria

Rabiu Kwankwaso‘s defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has raised reactions from Nigerians on the social media.

Kwankwaso, who represents the Kano Central in the Senate and a lot of Senators defected to other parties from APC on Tuesday ahead of the 2019 general elections.

See reactions below:

Kwankwaso ya bawa Buhari ƙafa! His defection to PDP must shock not only @MBuhari but also others he met last night at the Villa. Interesting time ahead, esp. in Kano politics. I doubt if Ganduje can survive the merger of Kwankwaso & Shekarau. What a marriage of convenience!

The way FG and APC treated Kwankwaso was suicidal and an insult. It's like supporting and backing Ambode and sidelining Tinubu. Ridiculous decision and calculation. The most powerful Northern politician only behind Buhari (some think otherwise) is out of their party. Tragic

That’s ur point of view

With the present exodus, I believe APC now is "out of the words". @KwankwasoAmana has succeeded in scoring himself by pitching his tent with the disgusting mai-malafa. @MBuhari , @NGRPresident, @aoshiomhole ride on.

Kwankwaso was a governor when he found APC, he didn't came to APC because he was unemployed, APC didn't make him, he help make the APC~~~Adam Oshiomole in a video clip last night.

I’ll choose Kwankwaso over Buhari every freaking day, even in my worst nightmare. It’s not even a dilemma!

Oshomole visited Kwankwaso several times in his house to plead with him not to defect,even took him to PMB to further plead with him,insisting that he is too important to APC,suddenly after Kwankwaso's defection today, Oshiomole said has no electoral value.This guy no get shame!
