Deputy Governor, Others Absent As Yusuf Makes First Public Appearance After NNPP Exit


Kano State deputy governor, Comrade Abdulsalam Gwarzo, and several officials believed to be loyal to the Kwankwasiyya political movement, were conspicuously absent on Saturday as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf made his first major public appearance following his resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), underscoring the deepening political crisis in the state.

The occasion was the flag-off of the distribution of motorcycles to social media promoters at the Open Arena of the Government House, Kano. The event attracted top government functionaries and political associates of the governor, but also highlighted visible cracks within the administration.

Among those present were the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Ismail Falgore; the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Farouq; a former deputy governor of the State and chairman of the Governing Council of Northwest University, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, as well as several commissioners.

Commissioners in attendance included Yusuf Labaran (Health), Alhaji Umar Doguwa (Water Resources), Comrade Ibrahim Waiya (Information), and Dr. Danjuma Mahmoud (Agriculture).

However, the absence of the deputy governor coincided with the absence of other commissioners widely perceived to be loyal to the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement and former governor of the State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Those absent included the Commissioner for Science, Technology and Innovation, Yusuf Kofar Mata; Commissioner for Sports, Mustapha Kwankwaso; Commissioner for Women Affairs, Children and the Physically Challenged, Amina HOD; Commissioner for Tourism, Aisha Saji; Commissioner for Internal Security, AVM Ibrahim Umaru (rtd); and the Head of Service, Abdullahi Musa.


In a related development, resignations have continued to trail Governor Yusuf’s exit from the NNPP. A former Special Adviser on Political Matters, Sunusi Sirajo, announced his resignation in a video circulated on social media, citing his loyalty to Senator Kwankwaso and describing the governor’s defection as a betrayal. He claimed his resignation letter was earlier rejected by government officials.

Other appointees who reportedly resigned included the Provost of the Anti-Corruption Institute, Sumaila Abdullahi Esq; the Managing Director of Kano Zoo, Sadiq Kura Mohammad; and the Senior Special Assistant on Intergovernmental and Foreign Affairs, Abdullahi Ahmad Namama.

In a swift response, the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, announced the appointment of Mustapha Hamza Buhari as the new Special Adviser on Political Matters

Political oloshoism pays esp when you are very corrupt.

Let me show you the face of the man you're referring to. In fact, yu have perfectly described him. And don't forget, he has again decamped to ADC.

It’s becoming clear that this was a calculated move to control APC funds in Kano. Easy money. I won’t be surprised if Otti joins APC as well. Agbadorians will learn

This is now news, we all know he wasn't following the Governor to APC. He's the one Kwankwanso is pushing to replace Governor Yusuf and deny Gov Yusuf a second term. Just like the Deputy to the Governor of Bayelsa, like Datti Ahmed who didn't follow Gbajue to ADC. They all have the right to their decision.

Nawao. Is this how we are going to deliver Kano to Tinubu in 2023? Even Ganduje has absconded to London to avoid receiving Abba while Barau is yet to make a statement. Abba was scheduled to defect to APC today but Ganduje has gone on exile to London. Who will now receive him into the party? Lessons!

Abba na Tinubu
Kano ta Kwankwasiyya

You must think I give a cold F about Obi.
I don't.

Yes, you do. Now get the F out of here.

In this photo some of the so called loyalists of the governor were hiding their faces.

They are going to have a new deputy governor soon. Solder go soldier come.

It shows Wike is stronger politically as a godfather than Kwakwanso. Almost all house of assembly members stood with Wike for almost 3 years now and Kwakwanso can only command loyalty of less than 10% of them.

Thats interesting

And a brand new governor as well, come 2027.

Peter Obi never decamped to any political party with the people's mandate. That makes the difference. He has only decamped from one political party to another in search for a viable platform where he will contest in an election with a bid to win and to serve you and your family better than the current and previous governments have done. Next time when you want to site an example please go for an accurate and a suitable one.

You have earned the right to wail. The fear of Peter Obi is the beginning of wisdom for Agbadorians.

This would be the second time I will be responding to you on this Kano issue. When propaganda and lies becomes too much of you, you lose your integrity. The next time, I might move past your comments and ignore you.
To inform you properly, it was because of the Governor's defection that Ganduje returned from abroad last month to conclude the arrangement with the Governor pending when the President would arrive ( the President was in UAE at the time). And as I speak, Governor Yusuf has sacked his Special Adviser on Political matters who is loyal to Kwankwaso and has replaced him with Ganduje's boy. This is the latest development in Kano right now. Ganduje is gradually having his footprint within the Government of Kano State.

-Kiss the truth!

Apt!

I don't know why I should add 17 more characters to a well suited response.

He will win in 2027, that one too sure.

If he no sure for am, he no go decamp. No sane governor will decamp to another party as governor if he is sure he will win in his party without decamping.

In 2023, below is the governorship election result:

NNPP — 1,019,602
APC — 890,705

You can clearly see that it is so close. Are you saying the governor and all the house of assembly members + APC caucus won’t topple a 200k margin?

Guy I repeat, the governor is very sure of winning. This is 1 year to 2027 election, all the betrayal noise by Kwakwanso people will die down soon. It is a marathon, they will eventually succumb to the governor.

Just be patient

It's a free world
The governor should pick another deputy in the next election
It's as simple as that

It's called politics and politics is the name.

In the next few days e go do you all like a movie cus another govetnor down South is joining Tinubu train.

Keep watching....

Did he carry any party’s mandate to another party?

Putindbutt:
Yes, you do. Now get the F out of here.

I don't. The same way I don't about your existence. Both you, him, Tinubu and etc., don't matter to me.

Have a nice century.

Hope those motorcycle has GPRS or else they will be sold to bandit.

All these quack analysis from a boy from Agulu who have never set his foot in Northern Nigeria since birth.
They are geniuses when it comes to useless political permutations but always fail when it comes to alliance and structure building, local politicking and electoral delivery. They will soon tell you that Kwankaso inherited 700 million Buhari or Ahmadu Bello votes

A new propaganda to absorb the political prostitute . Did Atiku decamp with people's mandate?. Do prostitutes decamp with people's mandate?, they simply frolick and jump in bed with any man available.

Reminds me how Obi was cursed by APGA members when he dumped APGA he had sworn with his life never to leave.
