President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday finally declared interest in contesting the 2015 presidential election.
He told Peoples Democratic Party leaders at the Presidential Villa, Abuja that he would procure nomination form of the party before the deadline.
He has also set up a presidential declaration committee saddled with the responsibility of coming up with a formal programme for his declaration.
On this note, The Governor of Kano State Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso said it is an easy win for him
Kwankwaso spoke with journalists in Ilorin Tuesday night ahead of meeting of the APC leaders and other stakeholders in the state.
He explained that with the electorates’ level of awareness, Nigeria’s growing democracy, any incumbent governor or president can be removed by the people.
According to him, he was removed as the governor of Kano State and later re elected, adding that in Ekiti State, the electorates voted against an incumbent governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi of the APC, while the same APC won election in Osun State.
He said that the trend would continue in the 2015 general elections.
His words, ‘’Any president or governor can be unseated in Nigeria now; forget about any political jamboree or propaganda that anybody or political party can be engaged in now. For me, President Jonathan will be easy to remove in 2015 election because Nigerians are angry with him. Many people will be surprised.
‘’You people are just sitting down here, if you go to the north eastern part of Nigeria, your people there are living on the hills because of the crisis of displacements while many others have fled to neighboring African countries for survival; where we are sending relief materials to them. Nigerians are no fools and people cannot be deceived. At the right time, they will speak with their votes. He said .
As we watch with kin interest the political circle gets more interesting, let us not forget to pray that peace rain in our dear country.
