We Used Almajiri Votes To Kicked Jonathan Out of Office – Kwankwaso

Rabiu Kwankwaso, governor of Kano state, says Almajiri
votes were responsible for kicking Goodluck Jonathan out of
the presidential villa in Abuja.
Kwankwaso decried the political play in the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), saying it has divided Nigerians
along religious and ethnic lines.
"It is unfortunate, in the last couple of years, we have seen a
polarisation situation, this issue of Christianity, Islam, north
and south, and even the issue of tribalism being promoted,"
he said.
"It was not good for the system – it was not even good for
my friend in the villa, so we are happy, we have seen the
end of it now."
The governor, who was speaking in an on-air interview with
Channels television, said the president did well for himself;
his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC); and the
nation at large by conceding election.
He went on to advise that the Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration must be willing to correct the ills and unite
the nation to keep peace and stability.
"We encourage Buhari to be what a president should be; to
carry along all the Christians, the Muslims and other people
of other faiths in this country.
"Ensure peace and stability, take everybody as his own; even
the PDP guys should be carried along by the president. The
president is the father of all.
"We hope that people around him should be people who are
experienced, who should not be talking of Hausas who are
thrown away as Almajiris. That is completely wrong, and it
has gone a long way in galvanising people in the north to
ensure that this Almajiri votes were used to kick them out of
the villa."
The former minister of defence who has been elected to go
to the next senate saw his state deliver 1.9 million votes for
the APC at the presidential election.
