Kwankwaso Woos Okorocha As Running Mate In 2015 Presidential Election

A delegation of the “Nigeria Project 2015,” a campaign organ of the Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso at the weekend visited Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha possibly to seek a possible partnership in the contest for the presidency in 2015 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Disclosing part of the outcome of their meeting to newsmen in Owerri, the Kano State commissioner for information, youth, sport and culture, Dr Abubakar Nuhu Danburan, who is the team leader, averred that their consultation with Okorocha was to seek his partnership with Kwankwaso.

He, however, noted that they were more impressed with the blunt response from the Imo governor who, he said, told them of his similar contemplated aspiration to contest the presidency in 2015.

Danburan added that Okorocha though promised to support Kwankwaso if he eventually gets the ticket of APC.

“Our consultation with Okorocha is a good one. We told him we came to pay our respect to him and seek his support. We are fascinated with his openness of telling us about the same ambition, but he told us that if there is anybody he wants to be there, it would be Kwankwaso.”
