The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has described the defection of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, as a political betrayal.
The governor on Monday joined the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, despite warnings from his estranged political godfather,
Kwankwaso.
The governor’s decision to quit the NNPP for the APC has
triggered a serious political crisis in Kano State.
Some cabinet members of Yusuf’s administration who are loyal
to Kwankwaso are reportedly preparing to resign in the coming days.
Addressing his supporters in a viral video on Wednesday,
Kwankwaso lamented that the mandate handed over to the APC was hard-fought by
his support organisation, known as the Kwankwasiyya movement.
According to him, handing over the mandate to his perceived
political enemy, former National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, was a
sin against the people of the state.
He said, “Handing over Kwankwasiyya’s hard-fought mandate to
Ganduje and the APC is nothing short of political betrayal and a grave sin
against the people.”
