Rabi’u Kwankwaso, the New Nigerian Peoples Party’s (NNPP) 2023 presidential candidate, has spoken out about the rumor that he and Abba Yusuf, the governor of Kano state, are at odds.
In a BBC Hausa interview, Kwankwaso denied the allegations, stating that, in contrast to what certain politicians were saying, there was no conflict between him, the governor, or senior state government officials.
He asserts that the state lead representative, Yusuf, was selected on the basis of his qualifications and his enduring support for the Kwankwasiyya movement.
“I do not have any issues with Governor Abba. He is giving it his all in the performance we gave him. Simply said, some naughty people are attempting to sow discord where none exists.
“We carefully examined the options and found him most qualified as far back as 2019. We gave him the chance to deliver, and we continue to support him.
“Those claiming that I control contracts or run the government are only being mischievous. In due time, the truth will come out,” he declared.
