Binta Spikin, spokesperson of former governor of Kano state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has declared that President Muhammadu Buhari will not win in Kano state in the 2019 general elections.
Spikin said this while reacting to a statement in which transportation minister, Rotimi Amaechi reportedly claimed that President Buhari will win in Sokoto, Kano and Bauchi states in the 2019 general elections even if he was taken to the states “on a sick bed”.

Former governor of Kano state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, had recently decamped from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“On those that defected at the House of Representatives and Senate, where do they come from? They come from areas that the President is comfortable. Do you honestly believe that the President will lose election in Sokoto? We are not God, but it’s one of his comfort zones,” the Punch quoted the minister as saying.
“If you bring the president on a sick bed to Bauchi and Kano, he will win and he has never lost election in Bauchi. But that is a bit arrogant on our side; we should not underestimate them,” he said.
Premium Times reports that Mrs Spikin said Mr Kwankwaso’s defection will not only affect the votes in Kano state but has brought down the APC.
“I think his defection will greatly affect the votes in 2019. His defection will not only affect the chances of the APC in Kano, his defection has brought down APC.
“If you look across Nigeria today, not Kano alone, there’s nowhere in Nigeria that you don’t have the presence of Kwankwasiyya (supporters of Mr Kwankwaso).
“Kano is his home base and he is well grounded in Kano. Even without the government, he had a 60 percent of the voters, so what do you think will happen now that he has joined forces with people like Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau?” she said.
Going further, she added that the government needs to know that there is a path that is blocked “even if you fight it.”
“Even if the government puts whatever in place, there is no way President Buhari will win in Kano, there’s no way.”
She also added that Kwankwaso stands a good chance of winning the 2019 general election should he officially declare his ambition to run for presidency.
