The Kano State Government has warned supporters of Governor Abba Yusuf against insulting Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, stating that such actions will attract disciplinary measures. This warning comes after Governor Yusuf’s defection from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has sparked tension between the two parties ¹.
Kwankwaso has expressed disappointment and hurt over Yusuf’s decision, stating that the move was unexpected and that he finds it hard to believe. He also warned that Governor Yusuf and his cabinet will regret their decision to defect to the APC.
The Kano People’s Rights Alliance (KPRA) has condemned Kwankwaso’s remarks, describing them as inflammatory and undermining democratic values. The group urged Kwankwaso to engage in constructive dialogue and present policy alternatives to the people.
