A recent statement by Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has stirred great reactions amongst Nigerians.

In the now controversial statement, the former governor of Kano state said Nnamdi Kanu has the potential to win presidency, come 2019.

Kwankwaso said the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra may ride on his popularity to contest in the 2019 election.

Kwankwaso (APC, representing Kano Central in the Senate), also admonished South-East leaders to do more in dissociating themselves from Biafra agitation to prove they are truly for Nigeria’s unity.

In reaction to Kwankwaso's assertions, Nigerians have taken to social media to air their views regarding the possibility of having Nnamdi Kanu run for presidency in 2019.

Below are what Nigerians have said about the issue.
