Chairman of Arewa Youth Forum in Southern Nigeria, Alhaji Ibrahim Galadanci, has warned that any politician who used the national leader of the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s popularity to get elected, but derails from his political ideology will pay for it in 2027.
Ibrahim gave the warning during a media briefing by the forum in Kano.
The briefing was organised to enlighten politicians on the importance of patriotism, especially with the new governments in place.
Galadanci said that many politicians in the NNPP used Kwankwaso’s popularity during the 2023 general elections to achieve their political goal.
He said, “Nigerian politicians are unpredictable. They can go to any length to get elected, but unfortunately derail after being elected.
“We are calling on those politicians, especially members of the House of Representatives and state assemblies who used Kwankwaso’s popularity to get elected to not betray him. If they do, the people would vote them out in 2027.
“In terms of patriotism, Kwankwaso is second to none. No politician cares for his people in the country as Kwankwaso. Those of us who live in the southern part of the country know what I am talking about.
“When Peter Obi was the governor of Anambra State, he ordered every northerner to carry an ID card. In response, Kwankwaso asked every Igbo man in Kano to have a uniform for identification.
“When our people were arrested in Lagos, our forum did everything to free them. We paid huge fines to set them free. We didn’t wait for any politicians or a government to intervene,” he said.
Galadanci said the forum has more than 8,000 members, adding that it would join forces in 2027 to ensure Kwankwaso is elected president.
