Rabi’u Kwankwaso, former presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), has denied reports of a rift between him and Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf.
In a recent BBC Hausa interview, Kwankwaso said there’s no division between him and the governor or top government officials, attributing the claims to mischievous individuals seeking to create tension.
According to him, Governor Yusuf was chosen based on merit and long-standing loyalty to the Kwankwasiyya’s movement.
“There is no problem between me and Governor Abba.
“We allowed him to perform, and he is doing his best.
“It is just that some mischievous individuals are trying to create division where there is none.
“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 said.
