Former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, will on Wednesday formally declare his presidential ambition on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This was contained in a statement issued by the Kwankwaso Presidential Campaign Committee in Abuja on Sunday.
The ceremony, according to his campaign committee, will hold at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
The statement quoted Kwankwaso as saying, “It is imperative for us to embark on massive infrastructural turnaround across the country with the judicious management of the nation’s resources without necessarily mortgaging the future of the country on excessive foreign loans and its attendant burden.”
A serving senator representing Kano Central in the National Assembly, Kwankwaso will be making his second attempt at getting a party’s ticket to vie for the highest office in the land.
He first contested against President Muhammadu Buhari during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary in Lagos in 2014 and came second.
The 61-year-old returned to the PDP, a party he left about five years ago, in July and is taking a second shot at the presidency.
“Dignitaries from all walks of life across the country and the diaspora are expected to attend the declaration,” Kwankwaso’s statement added.
