PEACE: Contrary to speculations that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso visited Governor Ayo Fayose to prepare his defection to PDP, the reports reaching SOJWORLD.COM is farther from the truth.
The former Governor of Kano State and current Senator representing Kano Central at the National Assembly equally visited Dr. Kayode Fayemi to call for peace between the two gladiators in the forthcoming elections in Ekiti State.
Although, Kwankwaso is locked in a bitter disagreement with his long-time ally and successor, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, he is still a staunch member of APC.
He is believed to be nursing presidential ambition but it could not be confirmed whether his visit to Fayose was in connection with his interest to vie for the Presidency.

Kwankwaso, Fayose and Dr. Fayemi were said to have called for credible and peaceful governorship election in Ekiti State on July 14.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Idowu Adelusi, also quotes Kwankwaso as saying that “elections should not be seen as war but the votes of the people must be made to count.â€
The statement disclosed that Kwankwaso addressed the Northern Community resident in the state, urging them to live in peace with their hosts and exercise their civic duties during the election.
Kwankwaso also decried the spate of killings in some parts of the country, noting that it was the responsibility of the government to secure the lives and properties of the citizens.
