KANO State Governor and a presidential aspirant of All Progressives Congress (APC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, yesterday in Enugu described the adoption of President Goodluck Jonathan as the sole presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2015 general elections as a sign of weakness.

Fielding questions from newsmen shortly after meeting with APC delegates from Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra States, Kwankwaso said, “I see that as a positive development for the party (APC).

Weak parties have no candidates. Medium strong parties have maybe one candidate. A mega party like APC should have as many candidates as possible.
“And not only number, you can also look at the quality.

That shows clearly that God willing, come 2015, APC will defeat PDP. If you look at it in 1999, we had real primary elections in Jos, so also in 2003 when we had sitting President. 2007, we had primary election. We also had primary in 2011 when we also had a sitting president.

“Now, PDP has gone from grace to grass. Today, they have only one candidate. They call it sole candidate. Jonathan is now the sole administrator of PDP. That is a sign of weakness of PDP. That also clearly shows that PDP has gone
down, and God’s willing, we will kick it out, just like we are trying to kick out polio in the North”.

On the issue of four presidential aspirants emerging from the North under the canopy of APC, the Kano Governor described it as a positive development for the leading opposition party.
