Who really cares about the ethnicity or region of the president? All Nigerians are asking for is good governance in a country where rule of law obtains and for the president to be capable of his office.
An objective assessor will largely agree that the 2019 presidential poll is all but a foregone conclusion. Barring any unforeseen foreseeable, President Mohammadu Buhari is returning for a second term but we may have a real game if Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is the opposing candidate. As for all others from the north, they have next to no chance against President Buhari.
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is a civil engineer by training. He served as Kano Governor for two terms. He distinguished himself, particularly during the second term, earning popular support. He is a shrewd politician, and a progressive of the Mallam Aminu fold to the core.
One of the reasons he was able to succeed was his near zero-tolerance on corruption, he was exceptionally prudent, and massively enhanced the IGR generated by the State under his watch. Kano was second only to Lagos, a very close second in the federation in that area.
He is fearless, no-nonsense and massively principled, and he commands massive following across the north. He is the only politician in the north that has a well-defined Movement, named after him. The Kwankwasiyya Movement is a massively potent political Movement, focused on Mallam Aminu's vision and activism for the protection, promotion, emancipation, and defence of the common man
Yes, some of his political opponents have cooked up stuff against him and his family all of which were politically motivated and none gathered any real traction to date. I cannot say whether he or any other Nigerian politician was/is totally beyond reproach vis a vis mismanagement of public resources, but I have no reason to believe his accusers if no one can bring him before, talk less of convicting him at a court of legal jurisprudence.
When he speaks in Hausa at a political rally, my goodness....there really is no one like him today. He is amazingly amazing. He is organized, disciplined, focused, trustworthy (he absolutely keeps to his word and always assemble a team of the best and brightest.
He is a man of peace and not even his most ardent detractors will accuse him of any form of ethnic or religious bias.
