The spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Habibu Saleh, has dismissed concerns over the defection of Abba Kabir Yusuf to the All Progressives Congress, insisting that the movement remains solid and resilient.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Post, Saleh responded to suggestions that his principal, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has lost grip of Kano’s political structure following Yusuf’s exit.

He argued that the situation is not unprecedented, recalling how former governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje once left the movement with a significant number of loyalists, yet the group eventually bounced back stronger and reclaimed political relevance.

According to Saleh, despite past setbacks that saw the movement lose key elected officials and appointees, it successfully reorganised and regained power — a pattern he believes will repeat itself.

He further claimed that cracks within the current political leadership in Kano are not being effectively managed, a development he said could ultimately favour Kwankwaso in future elections.

Saleh maintained that doubts about Kwankwaso’s political influence often stem from a misunderstanding of his long-term strategy and history.

He stressed that the movement is now more structured and better prepared, adding that its performance in the next political cycle will surpass previous outings.

“On paper, it may seem otherwise, but history tells a different story. We’ve faced this before and returned stronger,” he said, expressing confidence that unfolding events will ultimately validate their position.

Governor Yusuf is going to win his second term. Ganduje did it in 2019 after his fallout with Kwankwaso.
There's no need for panick here.

2027 elections in Kano will be something to definitely look UpTo too.....

For someone like me who has been in Kano and Know how powerful the Kwankwasiyya movement is in Kano, it will really be a big fight for APC to scale through.


Let the best candidate win.....
But please not APC
