Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate of the NNPP in 2023, has broken his silence on perceived rift with Kano state governor Abba Yusuf.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso denied the allegations, stating that there was no disagreement between him, the governor, or top members of the state government, as some politicians were spreading.
He claimed that Governor Yusuf was selected based on his qualifications and his lifetime loyalty to the Kwankwasiyya movement.
“There is no problem between me and Governor Abba. We gave him the opportunity to perform, and he is doing his best. It is just that some mischievous individuals are trying to create division where there is none.
“We carefully examined the options and found him most qualified as far back as 2019. We gave him the chance to deliver, and we continue to support him.
“Those claiming that I control contracts or run the government are only being mischievous. In due time, the truth will come out,” he said.
