The governor stated this while on a visit to the House of Representatives to address the federal lawmakers of his party, the All Progressives Congress.
“Since we now have quite a number of aspirants, all of us are working very hard especially those of us (who moved) from PDP; we have a huge advantage,” Kwankwaso said.



"There are so many people who are tired of the status quo. Status quo is not good for the country therefore we have to work together.”
Governor Kwankwaso said the PDP had overcome itself.
He further reminded the leadership and the APC group in the National Assembly of his ambition to contest for the 2015 presidential election has also campaigned for a consensus presidential candidate.

But he also mentioned that as the PDP was leading primary elections and embarking on consensus preparations in the past, the opposition parties were only hand picking their candidates who eventually were not capable to win elections.

“People are worried and very much concerned about the issue of primary. Let me tell you that our constitution has provided for consensus. It has also provided for election,” he said.

The Governor of Kano State Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will publicly announce his presidential aspiration on October 23, 2014, Thursday, in Abuja.
