The son of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, Bashir has said that the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso will become the next Muhammadu Buhari.
El-Rufai stated this while praising the NNPP flagbearer over the outcome of the presidential election.
During the election, Kwankwaso polled the most votes in Kano State, a situation that made some critics describe him as the “President of Kano.”
Reacting, El-Rufai stated that people who were mocking Kwankwaso and calling him president of Kano will not do so in a couple of years as he has the potential to become the next Muhammadu Buhari.
In a tweet, Bashir wrote: “Those laughing at Kwankwaso that he is only the President of Kano State will not be laughing so much in a few years. He is the next Buhari, potentially.”
Kwankwaso came fourth in the just-concluded presidential election behind Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
