Governor Yusuf’s Defection To APC Painful – Kwankwaso

Former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has expressed deep sadness over the decision of the Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf which he said was birthed through immense sacrifice under the Kwankwasiyya movement, to abandon the political structure and defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This followed the official reception of the governor and his political allies into the ruling party.

In a video shared on the Facebook page of one Sunusi Oscar, Kwankwaso said he found it difficult to understand why a government formed through the ideology and structure of Kwankwasiyya was “suddenly moved” into what he described as Gandujiyya, the political camp associated with former governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

“This government was formed with a lot of sacrifice, but without any clear reason that we know, it was taken away from our Kwankwasiyya structure and moved elsewhere,” he lamented.

Kwankwaso described the development as painful and disappointing, adding that only God knows the real motives behind the sudden political shift.

He, however, expressed hope that the outcome would, in the end, turn out well for his supporters and the people of the state.

The former governor also congratulated members of the Kano State House of Assembly who emerged victorious in the recent elections held in Ungogo and parts of Kano Municipal, even though he observed that voter turnout was relatively low.

Kwankwaso concluded by extending goodwill to all Kwankwasiyya loyalists.

He noted that supporters and government officials who have followed the governor into the APC still have an open door should they choose to return to the movement.
