PICTORIAL: Kano Deputy Governor In Open Show Of Loyalty To Kwankwaso Amid Defection Moves

The appearance of Kano State deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, at the private residence of the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Wednesday, has appeared to be an open reaffirmation of his loyalty to his longtime political mentor and Kwankwasiyya Movement leader amid ongoing defection moves by his principal, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The event took place at Kwankwaso’s Miller Road residence in Kano, where he met with NNPP leaders and supporters from Rano and Dawakin Tofa Local Government Areas of Kano State, along with other Kwankwasiyya groups who reiterated their commitment to the NNPP.

During the meeting, Gwarzo was seated beside Kwankwaso, a gesture widely interpreted by observers as a clear show of support for the Kwankwasiyya movement leader.

The development comes at a time of heightened political tension between Kwankwaso and a faction reportedly loyal to Governor Yusuf, who are believed to be planning a defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The apparent political rift had intensified while Deputy Governor Gwarzo was away performing Umrah (Lesser Hajj) in Saudi Arabia, with many watching closely to see whether he would alter his political stance upon his return.

His appearance at the Wednesday’s meeting, however, appeared to signal continued allegiance to Kwankwaso

Agbadorians have already celebrated prematurely & are still waiting for Kano state Governor to defect to the APC without Rabiu kwankwaso.

They will all wait in vain.

AMINDA:
Nothing to see here. Abba Kabir will deliver Kano to Tinubu, according to Agbadorians.

In Plateau State, the political structure and LGA Chairmen are yet to decamp. The grassroots supporters and voters are angry with the Governor.

We call it raban kafa!
They are playing tinubu.

Even if the movement should join APC, northern masses have resolved to vote against tinubu and his tribulations administration

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him.
According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.

Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.

At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

Nigerian Politics is very funny.

My peace and genuine understanding of Life only returned after I genuinely and completely dissociated myself from Politics.

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht
