Kwankwaso of Kano State and Babatunde  Fashola
of Lagos State to run for 2015 Presidential election.

advantage of the performance of Fashola in Lagos
and  that of Kwankwaso who is a northerner and
from a state with a very large population.
Not minding that they are both Muslims, the source
said that it happened in 1993 when it was Moshood
Abiola and Babagana Kingibe who are both Muslims
and they ran for election and won, but was
annulled. It was also gathered that APC may also

and acceptability by Nigerians to run for the
presidency in the 2015 Presidential election.
Kwankwaso was one of the governors who finally
dumped the PDP yesterday for the APC.
