Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, for the first time since the controversies surrounding his defection to the All Progressives Congress, has stated that he believes in Allah as the ultimate source of power and guidance.

“In 2023, it was God who gave me power, not anybody else, and I still thank and appreciate Him as the only one who will allow me to continue in 2027,” Governor Yusuf declared while presenting motorcycles to his social media handlers on Saturday.

Governor Yusuf added, “Even all the talk about 2027 is a misplaced priority, because who knows whether he will make it to tomorrow, let alone 2027.”

He emphasised that his major concern at present is Kano, saying, “We have to get it right to have our full peace and security before talking about anything, and that is my major concern now, not anything else.

“Let me remind everybody that, to me, Kano comes first, not loyalty to anybody. Everyone should know that no one is bigger than Kano; we shall all be loyal to Kano.”

Speaking on the historical creation of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, the former Deputy Governor of the State, Professor Hafiz Abubakar, stated, “Myself and five others created the Kwankwasiyya Movement and even gave it a Red Cap symbol, not Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.”

He added, “Dr Yunusa Adamu Dangwani, Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, myself and others constructed the acronym of Kwankwasiyya when the going was tough and we were somewhat sidelined.

“At that time, we gave every support to Kwankwaso to survive the political tsunamis directed at him by the political bigwigs in Kano, and that was how we created the movement.”

Professor Abubakar criticised Kwankwaso for failing to appreciate those who supported him, believing that he knew it all.

“That bad behaviour drove all those loyal to him away, leaving him alone. We thought Kwankwaso would act like the late Mallam Aminu Kano, who always acknowledged that others created NEPU, PRP and the Sawaba movements, giving them credit at every opportunity. Alas, that was not the case with Kwankwaso,” he said.

If you rely on Allah for re election then why did you change party

Don't mind the snake oil salesman. He ran on Kwankwaso's political machinery in 2019 and 2023 but now claims no one but God, made him governor. Meanwhile, this was Kwankwaso with the governor outside the INEC collation center on the night of the election, protecting their votes. So dark the con of man!

This is from the INEC headquarters at 5:00 a.m. during the elections, when RMK and millions of Kano residents protected their votes from the APC.

The people of Kano have been truly betrayed. pic.twitter.com/ylejLK2skg

Imagine.... Politics in Nigeria eh...

Not surprised as it's not agbadorians that support nonsense

He is 100% correct! Power comes from Allah, but still, he assumed power through Kwankwaso, so he is an ungrateful fellow.

Politics is what it is, Kwankwaso didn't make himself. He overestimated himself and now he has to realise that the state is bigger than him

My words are not worth wasting for any Politician.
We watch from far 👀👀

Same people who support fubura to go against his Godfather are not happy another person left his Godfather
Craze country you all support the evil you like as far it’s your favorite and evil is welcome and you all want a better nation jokers

This is a bold step by the governor almost similar to gov sim in rivers state
anything that will end godfatherism in politics is a welcome development

Okay, fair enough. Abba Kabir will deliver Kano to Tinubu in 2027. Na here we gather dey.

This Elrufai man, I think you should concentrate on Kaduna and leave Kano alone.

Kano people will decide their fate, whoever emerges governor is of no significance to me.

Anybody should be Governor of Kano as the people decides, but Atiku, Elrufai and Kwankwaso should stare off the Presidential ticket in 2027. If they want they should try in 2031

Allah doesn’t support betrayals. Allah doesn’t meddle in men’s affairs.

What goes around comes around, let wait till 2027 then you will know who's kwankwaso in Kano Politics

But Tinubu is not stopping at that. He also wants Obi, Jonathan, Seyi Makinde and other Southerners to stay off the presidential ticket and have even gone further to destroy their political parties. Does he want to be the only candidate on the ballot in 2027? Well, he will not succeed.

I know what this man is trying to do. He is trying to coerce the gullible Muslims into voting him

Kwankwoso is now politically irrelevant and out of the equation for the Presidential ticket.

There is only one constant here. All of them (including Uba Sani) were encouraged and induced by Tinubu to betray their benefactors so he can cut them to size. Master strategist or master of betrayals?

Fight don start 🤧🤷🏿, the odds is against you Governor Abba 🤷🏿

Allah is burning in hell right now....

You believe in allah for reelection but u defect go APC,

Who be mumu?

Wow! Politics is undoubtedly the most difficult thing to do.
In 2019,musa rabiu kwankwoso nearly gave Abba his kidneys. In 2023,he nearly gave him his heart, body and soul, protecting abba and the 🗳 votes given to him by the kano people.
The late president, Muhammadu Buhari have to intervene because of kwankwoso and to protect democracy but look at how this man forget in a hurry.
Truly, power intoxicate the mind and corrupt people.

You rely on Allah and now ran to APC. Why Nigerian politicians aren't serially struck down by lightening remains a mystery to me.

I don't have anything to say order than, 2027 election chess game will be interesting. 😂

God is always a better option.
Nevertheless U need to worship God not Allah to be blessed

All over the world, politicians change parties. The headline I attach is what is presently happening in the U.K. I have put a link here for you to read more. Since about four months now, politicians have intensified cross carpeting in the U.K. and nobody is convulsing because of that
