Kano is critical to any serious political formation because of its consistently high voter turnout. After joining the SDP, it was important to come and engage with stakeholders here.
“Twelve years ago, we merged three major parties to form the APC and defeated an incumbent president. But now, the goal is different. We are bringing together disaffected members across political divides under an existing platform, the SDP, which we believe has the best pedigree and potential.
“We have seen how godfatherism destroyed the PDP and is now wreaking the APC. Nigerians deserve a party built on fairness, internal democracy, and equal opportunity; the SDP can be that alternative.”
