Former Kano Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has said that the opportunity given to the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration in 2015 was not being handled properly.

Speaking during a visit to the Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu on Tuesday, Kwankwaso said Nigeria faces poverty, insecurity and other challenges because of the Federal Government’s inability to check leakages.

Senator Kwankwaso, a presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general election, said: “We were thinking that Peoples Democratic Party is bad but now, we realise it is better than the All Progressive Congress.”

He added, “This is because the opportunity given to them to govern is not being handled well, we worked assiduously in 2014-2015 for APC but now, we are seeing the difference.

“The leaders lack the capacity to do certain things, that is why the country is facing insecurity and unemployment.

“Poverty is the biggest challenge in the country so we must ensure the leadership checks the leakages,” Kwankwaso said.
