Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) chieftain, says he is certain of winning the party’s vice-presidential slot, which will finally allow Kano State to produce the president.

The former Kano governor made this known in an interview on Premier Radio over the weekend.

“By God’s grace, the next election will be unlike anything that has ever happened in our state and country, especially if I secure the ticket and my name is on the ballot,” Kwankwaso said.

“​Since the First Republic, despite our struggles and political wisdom, Kano has never produced a vice president.

“This is both disappointing and deeply saddening, but by God’s grace, it will be corrected.

“​Kano state will rightfully secure this position, which will open the door for our state to eventually produce the president of this country.

“People from the south who understand what is happening are already registering with our party.

“The north, especially the north-west, must be careful and ensure they do what is right so they do not make a decision they will deeply regret,” Kwankwaso added.
