PDP has gone from grace to grass -Kwankwasor

Kano State Governor and All Progressives Congress presidential
aspirant, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Sunday said the emergence of President
Goodluck Jonathan as the sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party for the 2015 presidential poll shows that the ruling party has
gone from grace to grass.
Kwankwaso spoke to journalists in Enugu shortly after meeting with the
party's national delegates at the state party secretariat.
The presidential aspirant was responding to questions over the
inability of the APC to present a consensus candidate for the
presidential election.
He said there was nothing wrong with the APC having multiple
presidential aspirants, and described the situation as a positive
development.
Noting that some parties have no presidential candidate, Kwankwaso
said, "A party like APC should have as many presidential aspirants as
possible.
"PDP has gone from grace to grass now that they have only one
candidate – that shows that PDP has gone down."
Pointing out that the PDP had, over the years, always recorded several
aspirants at its presidential primaries, the governor argued that the
absence of any challenge to Jonathan's candidacy means that times have
changed for the party.
He went ahead to restate his earlier claim that it would be easy to
defeat Jonathan.
"Jonathan has no capacity to rule the state – his government has
failed, that is why there is a high level of insecurity and
corruption.
"All these are as a result of poor leadership.
"People are looking for change," he said, while explaining his reasons
for believing that Jonathan would be easy to defeat.
"APC is moving from strength to strength and God willing, APC will
defeat him (Jonathan) in 2015," Kwankwaso added.
