Shekarau/oyegun, ANPP & April 11

Gov Shekarau,a two time Governor of Kano state- a rare feat-
emergernce as the Presidential candidate for hte ANPP was no
surprise considering the fact that He had the ANPP machinery
almost to himself.
Its a well know fact that He is a protege(or former)of Gen. Buhari
whose is also gunning for Aso Rock(Nigeria's seat of power).His
insistence on contesting for the position with Gen. Buhari was seen
as a betrayal by the northern talakawas(masses) who are die-hard
supporters of Gen. Buhari.
If He could win Kano state then he would have establish himself as
a no pushover in northern national politics.His personality does not
sell much outside the northern voting bloc,it will therefore be difficult
for him to clinch the prize come April 11 unless a miracle takes place.
His running mate OYEGUN might make or mars his chances as well.

The new ANPP as its called is a shadow of its glorious former self.
It will take more than speeches to convince the electorate that the party
is united.Bickering & stick ups tore it apart.It once had almost all the
northern state in its hand until power mongers tore divided its house.
If it can win back the northern states then it might become a real challenger
to PDP's dominance.
I's chances in the Presidential election is very slim!
