The Kano State government has warned supporters of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf against making inflammatory statements or insulting the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, saying such actions will attract disciplinary measures.

The warning was issued the Director General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, during the distribution of motorcycles to party members at the Open Space Theatre, Government House, Kano.

Daily Trust reports that Governor Yusuf was present at the event.

Bature said the government would not tolerate acts of indiscipline or disrespect towards Kwankwaso, describing him as a political leader whose role in Kano politics must be acknowledged, regardless of ongoing political developments.

“We will not accept indiscipline or insults against the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Anybody who engages in such behaviour will face the consequences. We will not accept it,” he said.

He urged supporters of the governor to conduct themselves with restraint and maturity, especially at a time of heightened political tension following recent realignments in the state’s political landscape.

According to him, the government remains committed to maintaining peace and internal cohesion among its supporters, stressing that political disagreements must not degenerate into personal attacks or abuse.

Bature also reminded party members that respect for leaders and discipline within the political structure were essential for stability and effective governance.

The warning comes amid ongoing reactions and debates following Governor Yusuf’s recent resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), a development that has generated mixed responses within the Kwankwasiyya movement and Kano residents.

Kwankwaso is not to be trusted. He will support Tinubu, he is just playing to the gallery.

Kwankwaso Is now homeless and lonely

seunmsg:
The dude overplayed his hand. Now, he’s just a crying mess. He can’t even go to ADC because there is nothing for him there. The same Tambuwal that chased him out of PDP is waiting for him. The governor is just being nice by saying his supporters should not abuse him. If he fails to respect himself going forward and keeps attacking the governor, he go collect wotowoto.

Freshtruth:

Omotaday:
I don’t understand. Is insulting a senator now illegal or a crime? Where in the constitution is that?

I can say whatever I want as long as it’s not defamatory or illegal.

There is freedom of speech, you can't discipline anyone who is not your child or ward...this their sharia dey cause choko for these people...they see their people as stooges, what a pity.

A governor is a servant of the people, if you want to command people, go do your business, a politician is a public figure, open to scrutiny and criticism. This is one problem with religious laws, it gives a false sense of superiority to governors and religious leaders.

P1PrinceKT:
Can you stop this Islamaphobic attitude? There's no business with Sharia in this shenanigans.

dederocs:
Is Kano a sharia state or not?

Why else will this political group feel superior to the people and want to subject them?

What other instruments can they use to subjugate their people or 'discipline' them in their words...damn shame.
