Governor Abba's defection: Kwankwaso declares January 23 "Betrayal Day" by Bobloco(op): 7:23pm On Jan 24
The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in 2023, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared January 23 as a “Day of Betrayal”.

Kwankwaso made the declaration following Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf’s decision to dump the NNPP.

DAILY POST reports that the Kano Governor officially resigned from NNPP on Friday ahead of his imminent defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Addressing his teaming supporters in Kano, Kwankwaso said the day should be recorded in history as a day of betrayal, to ensure global awareness.

He said, “Today, as the leader of this Movement, I declare the 23rd of January as Betrayal Day.

“We believe that day should be permanently recorded in history to ensure global awareness of betrayal and the breaking of trust.”


Kwankwaso had begged the governor to remain in the opposition party, stating that the hard-fought mandate shouldn’t be handed over to his political rivals.

Kwankwaso Must be living in delusion hoping he can continue to have his claws on Kano state Treasury and use it for his Presidential ambition.

You all sound pathetic when you keep using this line. Stop it!

Jagora Kwankwaso has kicked off his campaign against Tinubu in Kano. Tinubu may not get half the votes he got in Kano in 2023, if Kwankwaso maintains this betrayal narrative.

It is likely that a third force would be needed to make Tinubu bleed votes in the Southeast, Southsouth and Middlebelt. Obi/Kwankwaso cannot totally be ruled out yet.

Kwakwanso should take his big L and lick his wounds quietly. He lost out already. He has a well documented history of betrayal himself. He rode on Jonathan’s back to win a second term in 2011 only to betray him for Buhari in 2015. In 2019, he

He’s the one who betrayed the governor by trying to stop him from getting a second term ticket on the platform of the party. The governor has every right to legitimately further his political aspirations.

And talking about betrayal, Rabiu is the worst of them all. He has a well documented history of betrayal himself. He rode on Jonathan’s back to win a second term in 2011 only to betray him for Buhari in 2015. In 2019, he betrayed both Buhari and Ganduje by trying to stop their second term election. Why does he even think he’s the only one that deserves a second term? Why is he always against the second term ambition of others?

He wants to remain the only force to reckon with in Kano but he’s not God. No king reigns forever and it’s time for another era to begin in Kano. A combination of Ganduje, Barau and Abba Yusuf will finish him off.

Lol. Lost out already? Are you willing to stake your two balls on that? We will all learn politics together! As expected, you people are back to spinning narratives out of God-knows-where. What's the latest one you have spinned on Wike-Fubara? You don't want Kwankwaso to be the only force to reckon with in Kano but you want Tinubu to be the only force to reckon with in not just Lagos, but the whole Southwest. Define hypocrisy again.

As predicted, Agbado munchers have been unleashed on Kwankwaso but it's an exercise in futility. A few months ago, he was the silver bullet needed for Tinubu’s re-election.

I don't trust this Kwakwanso at all. He may still be working with the governor even though he has gone to the APC. Refusal of Kwakwanso to deputize Obi has a deeper message than meets the eye.

This one is still camped here, confidently dissecting Kano politics, after loudly boasting that Yusuf would never abandon Kwankwaso’s party, speaking as though he had access to classified information the rest of us mere mortals don’t. Honestly, if I were you, I’d quietly retire from the politics section and save myself the embarrassment.

Yusuf has already walked away from his party. Can you now unravel the mystery of whether he plans to crawl back or continue roaming the political wilderness party-less. Are you still asking for date? The event has happened, your prophecy didn’t just fail, it retired early.

Lol. Still stalking me? Bring the evidence of where I said Yusuf will never walk away from Kwankwaso. If I were you, I will be more worried about Ganduje and Barau than I would be about Abba. Tinubu just replicated another Wike-Fubara scenario in Kano but time is a gentleman. Can Abba deliver Kano to Tinubu? Ganduje is more informed than Agbadorians, as it should be.

author=AMINDA post=138048408]I only read the first two paragraphs. If the governor has not decided on a date, why are Agbadorians then celebrating fake flyers with non-existent dates that they conjured. I thought his defection was slated for this past Monday? What changed? Is he developing cold feet? Lessons!
No one is stalking you, please relax. It’s quite obvious that your appointed assignment in the grand promotion of the agulu man is to obsessively monitor every step Tinubu takes. That’s fine, just try to be logical and consistent while at it.

Now, if the emboldened statement was not your attempt at proving that Yusuf will never defect, kindly enlighten us. What exactly was the point? Because at the moment, it reads like someone insisting, “I never said it,” while frantically underlining it for emphasis.

It should be “you must have been skipping.”
Please, do yourself a public service and go get Brighter Grammar, yes, the one actually sold in the market, not the imaginary edition in your head.

Now, fine, let’s assume I was skipping comprehension classes back in school. Congratulations on that discovery. Kindly proceed, O Professor of Obviousness, and explain what it actually means, slowly, if possible, so even those who attended the classes can follow along.

What a spectacularly funny escape route. Next time, if you intend to flee because your argument sounds embarrassingly weak, at least have the decency to acknowledge it and make a graceful, honorable exit.

This current strategy, pretending you were right all along while quietly tiptoeing away, is far too crude, stale, and honestly, unworthy of such a dramatic retreat.

He should wait so that he can loose his seat right? You are being selfish because of your own political ambition.
He narrowly won the last time, knowing fully well that it will be difficult to win this time, I think he made the best decision.

I didn't know Kwankwanso is this stewpid.
Man that I respected from childhood as Kano guy.
He should simply leak his wounds and move on or join them, after all he also defected as a governor.

That's your believe and opinion, allow Yusuf and Tinubu to play their game in peace. Kwankwaso is in severe pains and he can't hide it. He has been crying for more than one months now.
