The spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Habibu Saleh, has said former presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is willing to accept any role, including a possible vice-presidential slot, to ensure that President Bola Tinubu is voted out in the 2027 election.

Saleh stated that Kwankwaso’s priority is not personal ambition but to ensure that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Tinubu are removed, so that democracy can survive and the nation can be saved.

He said, “My principal has made it very clear to us all that we are joining this coalition simply to ensure that we contribute in any way possible to remove this present government of APC and Bola Ahmed Tinubu from power, so that democracy can survive and the nation can be saved.

“He has been creating alliances, bringing people together and doing everything necessary to ensure that the party succeeds in its fight. He is ready to make the necessary sacrifice to achieve that goal.

“Be it that he is going to be given a slot as vice president or at whatever capacity, I believe that will work for the success of the coalition and the ADC.

“If he evaluates the arrangement and sees that it will bring victory and allow the party to succeed, my principal will take it. What matters most is success for Nigerians and for democracy.”

He stated, “It is a serious understatement for anybody to say that the relevance of my principal is only in Kano. The figures from the last election clearly show otherwis
