'We will do far better than we did in 2011 in the entire North generally, despite the security challenges we are facing over there.

'There is no shaking In the North-West, especially Kano, where we lost the governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to the APC, but we gained the incumbent education minister, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau and he is going to make the difference.'
