KWANKWOSO PLAYING DOUBLE AGENT WITH KANO POLITICS

The Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on 20th September, 2023 sacked the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) and declared the candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Nasir Yusuf Gawuna the winner of the gubernatorial election held on 18th March, 2023. This was premised on the 165,663 votes ruled to be invalid because the ballot papers used to cast the votes in favour of the NNPP's candidate were not stamped and signed by the Presiding Officer.

The focus of this piece is the compromising activities of the National leader of the NNPP, Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwoso in the build-up to the Tribunal judgement. His indifference towards the election petition was corroborative of the information gathered on his activities especially after the last Presidential election in which President Bola Tinubu, GCFR was victorious.

Throughout the sittings of the Tribunal, Kwankwoso never appeared to witness the proceedings. While the APC presented over 60 witnesses at the Tribunal, the NNPP did not present any. The only NNPP chieftain who witnessed the Tribunal session was the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Bappa Bichi who even went there to do more harm than good. The whole scenario seemed an internal conspiracy against Governor Abba Yusuf. Bappa agreed to alleged over-voting and invalid votes against the NNPP without any objection.

After the Presidential election, Kwankwoso had been seen patronizing the Presidency for personal gains while abandoning the legal storm facing his party in Kano State, which is already consuming the party. In some quarters, Kwankwoso is said not to be predisposed to the closeness between Kano State Governor and the Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON to whom he feared Abba Yusuf may have shifted loyalty. The aloofness of the party national leader may be a calculated move to unseat the Governor.

The people of Kano State, especially staunch members of the NNPP, may not have realized that the red caps they are made to wear are now mere symbolic of the old formidable NNPP in the State. Their national leader is already looking elsewhere, leaving them with only the red cap that is fast losing its substance.
