The Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwakwanso, has berated the Peoples Democratic Party, describing the party as haven for corrupt people.
Kwakwanso spoke in Benin City, Edo State, when he visited the state as part of his nationwide consultations ahead of the 2015 general election.
The governor was also in the state to felicitate with the Esama of Benin Kingdom, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, who marked his 80th birthday last week.
He said that one does not need to be in the opposition to know what is happening in the country, saying “the PDP has become a mess, that is the place to go and hide and seek protection for evil deeds.”
“Actually, there are two PDP in Nigeria now. The first one are those in the Transformation Agenda of Nigeria and the other groups are the ones saying by 2015, you have six years.
“We have not seen anywhere in the constitution that talks about anything more than eight years.
“When all those criminal activities – stealing of money and other weaknesses are being hidden, anybody on the other side go to the laboratory with microscope and look for faults.
“I left the PDP for the All Progressive Congress because I realised that I was in a party that its ideologies were different from mine,” the governor stated.
He urged Nigerians to support President Goodluck Jonathan to lead Nigeria to 2015 when the APC will take over the mantle of leadership from the PDP.
