2015: APC Chieftains Deny Endorsing Kwankwaso

Some Chieftains of the Kano State All Progressives Congress (APC) have denied endorsing Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso for the 2015 presidential election.
This was disclosed in a statement issued yesterday, September 9, by leaders of the legacy party which merged to form APC, Alhaji Musa Umar (of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN), Mallam Muktar Kwaru, (of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP) and Garba Bala of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, CPC), Nigerian Tribune reports.
In the statement which was issued in Abuja, the trio debunked an earlier report signed by Ambassador Kabir Rabiu and Saleh Jelli and published in a national daily, which claimed that the elders’ committee of Kano State APC had endorsed Kwankwaso to contest for President in 2015 elections.
They said: “The leaders of the three legacy parties have not endorsed any presidential candidate, nor have elders of the legacy parties.”
The chieftains explained that the report was far from the truth because at the moment, there is no formal elders committee of the APC in Kano.
