I won’t interfere in next Kano govt — Kwankwaso

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has claimed that the administration of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje in Kano state was a charade because Ganduje allegedly sold public properties, including cemeteries and schools, among other things.

Former Nigerian Minister of Defense and two-term governor of Kano state in northwest Nigeria, Kwankwaso, promised in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service on Friday that the incoming administration of NNPP’s Governor-elect, Abba Kabir Yusuf, would quickly right the wrongs allegedly committed by the Ganduje administration so that the good people of Kano would have some respite.

He claimed that when the video of ex-Deputy Governor Gawuna, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for governor who lost the state election, was played, he admitted loss and congratulated the newly elected leader of the NNPP.

“That’s what’s expected. He has shown good example in the spirit of sportsmanship,” Kwankwaso said.

The red cap Kwankwasiya movement’s head promised, however, that he would not interfere with Abba Yusuf’s new administration, but that it was his responsibility as a legitimate native of the state to lead and offer counsel when necessary.
