Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by Bobloco(op): 8:52pm On Jan 14
..... on Gov Yusuf’s defectionP


The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has described the defection of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, as a political betrayal.

DAILY POST reports that the governor on Monday joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, despite warnings from his estranged political godfather, Kwankwaso.

The governor’s decision to quit the NNPP for the APC has triggered a serious political crisis in Kano State.

Some cabinet members of Yusuf’s administration who are loyal to Kwankwaso are reportedly preparing to resign in the coming days.

Addressing his supporters in a viral video on Wednesday, Kwankwaso lamented that the mandate handed over to the APC was hard-fought by his support organisation, known as the Kwankwasiyya movement.

According to him, handing over the mandate to his perceived political enemy, former National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, was a sin against the people of the state.

He said, Handing over Kwankwasiyya’s hard-fought mandate to Ganduje and the APC is nothing short of political betrayal and a grave sin against the people.”

Betrayal is politics and politics is full of betrayal and backstabbing oga

Tinubu will destroy the APC with this inordinate desire to have everyone in his party. There are too many clash of egos and the party will implode close to and after the primaries. Ganduje and Kwankwaso cannot co-exist in one party as at today. Tunubu is just potentially making an enemy out of Kwankwaso for little to no gain but with a lot to lose.

Kwakwanso is neither here nor there . He is so confused. Where actually does he belong to ?
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by Nickisindigo(m): 7:51am On Jan 15
He owns Kano state just like tinubu owns lagos

So yusuff should technically forget about his second term if the news is true
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by slivertongue: 9:57am On Jan 15
Kwankwaso has been left behind thus the endless complaints. ADC is already strong in 5 out of 6 geopolitical zones without him
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by Truthissupreme: 11:42am On Jan 15
This is why I tell ADC to avoid kwankwanso by all means

He is an agent of destabilization because his ego is too big for his actual size

Apc will have only one leader in kano between him and ganduje and i don't see how tinubbu will throw ganduje under the bus for him

Kwankwanso no see buhari as leader one day, he went ahead to head with him in primary, na tinubbu go con control am?

In all of these, who is the authentic Emir of Kano?

Won't this defection affects the dynamics? Loyalty will shift, interest will shift and only the puns will be discarded, to make room for new ones.

Never allow anyone use your head.

Mark my words, after TINUBU exit ASO ROCK APC will collapse and will die completely.

Do you think the APC will have presidential primaries.

I am not talking about presidential primaries. I am talking about primary elections across the states with new defectors. Tinubu is already striking deals that benefits only himself while asking too many prominent politicians to shelve their own ambitions in order to accomodate newcomers. Interestingly, he left Osun state alone and rejected Adeleke's defection because his cousin, Oyetola assured him that APC can reclaim Osun state. Why didn't he consider this for other states with already strong APC presence like Kano (Ganduje and Barau), Delta (Omo-Agege), Plateau, etc?
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by princeade86(m): 12:27pm On Jan 15
That's the pure truth from him
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by Seeplusplus: 12:28pm On Jan 15
The article says that Kano governor has defected to the APC. Where is the evidence?

No public display of deflection and flaunting of membership card?


And again, why is Kwankwaso wailing up and down lately?
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by Memphitz357: 12:30pm On Jan 15
Bola Ahmed Tinubu's silly 2nd term ambition without any good performance will kill the APC

Not surprised. He brought the Lagos mentality to national governance. That's why his cabinet is filled up with only his boys from Lagos. For your information, "Baba sopé" politics can never work across all states of the federation.

Are you sure they will even have primaries at the state level.
Re: Handing Over Our Hard-fought Mandate To Ganduje Is Betrayal – Kwankwaso by lightwind(m): 12:36pm On Jan 15
What is happening in Nigeria political space, why all the governors decamping to APC huh

Can someone please explain the reason behind all this defections by the governors.

Is there something they are promising them if they defect or are they defecting under duress or under gunpoint huh

Because i don't seem to understand 🥺

Can kwakwaso and Atiku co-exist in ADC? Both have the same ambition. You think kwakwaso would want Atiku to win? Tinubu knows what he's doing. Kwakwaso would have no choice than to come to Tinubu bcoz Kano State government is his ATM card and where would he get money to float another party or run for presidency?

Kwakwaso is coming to APC, it's just that the Gov wanted to defect on his own before kwakwaso.

Bayero has upper hand now because Abba will leave Sanusi to Kwankwaso; Bayero surely has higher support among Kanawa. However, nobody really understands Kano politics. They may divide the Emirate again to accommodate the cousins.

Doesn't look so. There were no primaries in Ekiti and Osun state so far. Other aspirants were disqualified for the president's choice. That will be a recipe for disaster.
