The senator representing Kano Central in the National Assembly, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is set to announce his decision amid the crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State and member of the nPDP, is said to be fed up with the bloc’s futile discussion with the presidency and the party.
The Senator is expected to carry along his loyalists in the APC and members of the Kwankwasiya movement to take a final walk-out.
According to DAILY POST, the decision will happen within the next 48 hours.
It is widely speculated that Kwankwaso will return to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) where he still commands a large followership.
It will be recalled that he became a federal minister and two-term governor of Kano State while in the PDP.
Also Kwakwanso was visibly absent at the national convention of the party.
The lawmaker stayed away but visited former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar same day.
Already, it has been reported that his estranged friend and incumbent Kano Governor, Umar Ganduje in February,stated that Kwankwaso won’t get the APC ticket to return to the Senate in 2019.
Ganduje was alleged to have concluded plans to give the slot to Senator Basheer Lado, who joined the APC in January.
Lado represented Kano Central from 2011 to 2015 (under the PDP) but Kwankwaso defeated him during the last election.
