Gov. Abba refutes rumors of rift with Kwankwaso

 


Abba Kabir Yusuf, Governor of Kano State, has dismissed reports of any split between him and his mentor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). Speaking at a ceremony in Madobi to mark Kwankwaso’s 69th birthday, Yusuf described Kwankwaso as a “God-given leader” whose ideals continue to underpin governance in Kano.



Yusuf addressed speculation that a faction within the party — known as “Abba Tsaya da Kafarka”, reportedly led by Baffa Bichi and Salisu Digol — was seeking to alter the power dynamics by promoting greater autonomy for the governor. He insisted such manoeuvres would not succeed.


Reaffirming his commitment to the “Kwankwasiyya” movement, Yusuf pledged to uphold its values of discipline, service and good governance, and prayed for Kwankwaso’s long life and health so he may continue guiding their political journey. Analysts believe this renewed alliance is intended to soothe intra-party tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Samchi at his office in Jos, it was more than a familiarization meeting—it became a revelation of how much transformation has already taken place under his watch. Engr.
