Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state says to the best of his knowledge as a chieftain of the APC, his party's presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari is hale and hearty & even healthier than President Jonathan. Governor Kwankwaso said this while addressing newsmen in Kano yesterday February 22nd.

"By my judgement, since we finished our party primary elections, he is sound, hale and fit to rule this country. In fact I feel he is healthier than the incumbent occupier of the seat because he went to all the states on campaigns in addition to other engagements that come in between,” he said.
