We won’t leave PDP for Tukur –Lamido (sun newspaper 9/9/13)
Kwasoko not persuadable
I think Lamido is a decent man and a typical good politician. Unlike Rabid Kwasoko Lamido neither plays the game of politics with bitterness nor sees it as the means to an end. Given reason and assurance by the presidency Lamido can be persuaded to support Jonathan come 2015. And if he changes his heart and allow Jonathan for 2015 I would spend my time and resources to elect him in2019
The un-persuadable Kwasoko with hegemonic tendency is the person the presidency must be cautious of. Rabi'u Kwankwaso is the force behind the rebellious 5 and he cares less if PDP disintegrate and lose the 2015 general election. Kwasoko is not enthusiastically interested in the presidential office because he knows being a bigot he could not win a national election. But he mortally believes in Hausa/Fulani hegemony, the born to rule mentality. So he would see that PDP fields a northerner come 2015 otherwise he would work to see that PDP disintegrate, paving the way for a northern APC presidential candidate for a smooth run for the presidency. Kwasoko is neither party nor Nigeria loyal. His loyalty is first to Islam, and 2nd to North. Kwankwaso’s primary goal and belief is for a northern president regardless of the party. So for Kwasoko, peace within PDP with Jonathan as it presidential candidate is neither feasible nor achievable.
