But Bashir says the development is capable of crippling Atiku Abubakar, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal\u2019s presidential ambitions in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

In a post on his verified Facebook page on Thursday evening, Bashir described the development as a sign of democracy.<\/p>\n

The post reads, \u201cSo the opposition party, PDP has zoned its national chairman to the North, this recent development may rule out the possibility of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and others from the region from running for president under the party in 2023.<\/p>\n
