Former Member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has dismissed the reports of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, fighting with the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Naija News reported that Governor Yusuf recently denied allegations of a conflict with his political mentor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Kwankwaso.
Yusuf also described a political group – “Abba Tsaya da Kafarka” (meaning “Abba, stand on your own”), which was formed to encourage him to make decisions independently of Kwankwaso’s input as ‘the greatest insult’ he has ever faced as a governor.
The faction formed within the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) recently gained attention, with the group calling Governor Yusuf to distance himself from his political mentor.
The movement’s momentum has increased, with members from both the party and other political circles pushing for Yusuf’s perceived autonomy.
In an interview on Channels Politics Today, Jubrin stated that there is no way Yusuf would fight Kwankwaso, stressing that the latter made the former Governor.
He added that the report of a rift between Kwankwaso and Yusuf was mere speculation.
He said, “The report that Abba Yusuf is falling out with the Kwankwaso is just public opinion and of course, the Governor came out a few days ago to make clarification about the issue. There is no way the Governor will fight Kwankwaso, he will not not do that he is Kwankwaso’s son. God made him Governor, and Kwankwaso made him the Governor, he will not do that. Abba is a good man. The problem is that many people do not known how we are constituted as a Kwankwasiyan family, movement.”
