Kwankwaso's Talakawa policies have endeared many residents of the North West to his political movement.
Similarly, he contested to become the PDP candidate in 2019 but lost to Atiku Abubakar, who is yet again the candidate of the main opposition party.
“Here in Zamfara State, they’re a lot of beneficiaries of his educational policies. When we see them, we feel happy. The reality is that Kwankwaso has done a lot for the North-west because it was not only Kano State that benefited,” Mr Anka said. Abdullahi Namama, a Kano resident told PREMIUM TIMES he decided to support Mr Kwankwaso due to the capital projects he constructed in Kano when he was governor.
The party launched its campaign in Bauchi. The APC and PDP are the main contenders in the state, but Haliru Dauda-Jika, the leader of the NNPP in the state, is not a pushover.The region, with seven states, is considered to have the bulk of votes in the country. The region has 22.25m eligible voters for the 2023 elections, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, ahead of other regions. Kano, Mr Kwankwaso’s strongest base, has 5,921,370 eligible voters.
Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC is banking on Mr Buhari’s support. However, that is not assured because it is hard sometimes to transfer loyalty.
