This man Kwankwaso is overrated even in Kano but una no go gree
He used to be highly rated but his recent exploits in joining and then leaving the coalition along with Obi is making many begin to scrutinise his motives. Don't forget that Tinubu handed over the entire APC structure to Abba Kabir, his godson in favour of Ganduje, Barau and other older APC stalwarts. This was after several meetings with Kwankwaso and a convenient "disagreement" with his godson, who doubles as his in-law. Abba Kabir never ditched the red cap, he only added the slave chain insignia logo. He has recently granted interviews suggesting a future reconciliation with Abba Kabir and barely attacks Tinubu's government as much as he atta ks Atiku.

P.S: NDC currently has no recognised gubernatorial candidate in Kano and he seems to be unbothered.

Tinubu na die hard politician o. After he left Lagos state government house, he was never elected to any position, he wasn't appointed to any position, he was just at the background coordinating things untill he came out to via for the presidency.
He is a good chess player.
But children of hate were busy insulting him . Baba was busy building his pathway.

He said , Emilokan , they thought he was joking.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES SENATOR RABIU KWANKWASO AT 70

My warm congratulations to my friend Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State, one-time Minister of Defence and former Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District, on his 70th birthday on October 21, 2026.

Senator Kwankwaso and I have had a longstanding association, dating back to our time in the National Assembly in 1992, he in the House of Representatives and I in the Senate, and later in 1999 when we both emerged as governors of our respective states.

As members of the Class of '99 Governors, we both played pivotal roles in laying the foundation for the democracy the nation enjoys today.

Shaped by different political choices, our political paths differed until we coalesced in 2013 to form the All Progressives Congress. Since then, history and service have kept us intertwined.

I must acknowledge Senator Kwankwaso's immense contributions to Kano State and Nigeria as a two-term Governor, former Minister of Defence, former Senator, former presidential candidate, and now a presidential running mate.

Senator Kwankwaso remains an influential figure and a progressive politician.

That we are in different political parties and competing on different platforms in the January 2027 election will not remove my affection for Senator Kwankwaso.

As the former governor marks this milestone, I wish him good health, personal fulfilment, and many more years of engagement in the nation's democratic process.

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria

I dey even suspect say Pitobi sef dey work for Tinubu against Atiku.

Pitobi is the only reason Atiku will never become Nigeria president in his life time.

E come be like say Tinubu dey use JuJu for them.
And you forgot that Atiku was the reason Peter Obi lost in the last elections. If Atiku and Wike had played fair, Peter Obi would still be in PDP and would have won the last presidential election. But thanks to Atiku and Wike…

The demotion was a knock out KO instead of OK.
From a presidential candidate to a
" and now a running mate"

The black out was " I wish him a personal fulfilment" and not a collective one.
Tinubu na badman

Is EL RUFAI not his friend?




Sleekfingers:
So he shouldn't congratulate his friend, because of politics?

An average Nigerian keep insulting themselves because of Nigerian politicians. Those guys call themselves, go to their children weddings etc

I said it on this platform, before kwankwaso and Peter Obi joined NDC , that kwankwaso primary objective is 2031. And Peter Obi winning the election will damage it.

Because no northerners will trust Peter Obi to use 4 years. And also Kwankwaso will need the support of the Southwest in 2031 , if he wants to be president.

Some of you just ask absurd questions. El Rufai got case to answer. He claimed to have intercepted NSA telecommunication, listen Nuhu ribadu and other allegations.

That's a national security concern. He should face the music , ....what has that got to do if he is or was Tinubu's friend ?

Re: President Tinubu Congratulates Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso At 70 by Kalashnikov49: 8:22pm On Oct 21
He is not in jail because of the NSA issue. He is in jail because of corruption charges. That is what you refuse to acknowledge grin

Tinubu is surrounded by corrupt elites and criminals but jails El Rufai... cool

Tinubu betrayed him

Both are APC moles in their various parties
If It was only APC vs Obi, APC would have swept the north. Leave Atiku in the ballot.
