Ex- Kano State Governor, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, will officially declare his presidential ambition for the 2019 election on Wednesday, according to Kwankwaso Presidential Campaign Committee.
The statement, signed by a member of the committee, Mr Taiwo Adekanla, was released in Abuja on Monday.
Contained in the statement, Kwankwaso, a senator representing Kano Central, would join the presidential race at a rally to be held at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
The statement said that part of Kwankwaso’s policy direction, if elected, would be massive infrastructural development across the country.
“It is imperative for us to embark on massive infrastructural turn-around across the country.
“This includes the judicious management of the nation’s resources without necessarily mortgaging the future of the country on excessive foreign loans and its attendant burden.
“This will eliminate insecurity in all its forms across the country and return Nigeria to the path of prosperity,” it said.
It listed further some of the aspirant’s achievements as governor to include his popular “Free School Feeding Programme’’ and free uniform for primary schools, based on his ‘Kwankwasiyya’ ideology.
