A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has dismissed the possibility that the strongman of Kano politics, Rabiu Kwankwaso, would join forces with President Bola Tinubu for him to win a re-election in 2027.
Galadima, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, said the Tinubu presidency has treated Kwankwaso and the NNPP badly in Kano by backing the ousted Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado-Bayero, despite Governor Abba Kabir of the NNPP removing him.
“How can a Kwankwaso be a friend of the APC with what they are doing to us in Kano? Appointing two emirs in one town? There is a Federal Government emir and a state emir. Who is responsible for appointing emirs and paying them their salaries?
They have their emirs. They have at least 40 pickup vehicles filled with mobile police guarding the Emir (Ado Bayero).
“In some localities in Kano, they are killing people and taking their handsets, and the police are tied down. Are they not ashamed?” he asked.
