As the Kano New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, crisis deepens with two House of Representatives members, Ali Madakin Gini and Alhassan Rirum, leaving the Kwankwasiyya Movement, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against interfering in the matter.
The admonition followed a meeting between Tinubu and the Leader of the Kwankwasiyya, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The meeting was said to have been initiated by Kwankwaso.
Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, in a statement issued to newsmen in Kano on Monday, said, “We are aware of a meeting between President Tinubu and Kwankwaso, today early in the morning, and even pictures of Kwankwaso was not allowed to be taken at the Presidency, we are suspicious of the meeting.
“Kwankwaso must have rushed to President Tinubu in jittery of the fact that his top allies are gradually jilting him. The President should know that Kwankwaso should not be trusted.
“The three giants, SSG Bichi, Rirum and Madakin Gini plus Senator Kawu Sumaila were the ones who in 2023 ensured the victory of the NNPP/Abba Kabir Yusuf government, and today they are leaving. That is why Kwankwaso is highly afraid of their actions.”
The two times commissioner for Rural Development added, “Kwankwaso knew he is loosing ground that is why he don’t mind going to the President shamelessly. That is why we are advising our beloved President Tinubu to be cautious of whatever he will tell him.
“The crisis in Kwankwasiyya today in Kano is a fight to the finish. We in APC we should congratulate ourselves, not pity them because it is a clear victory for us in the 2027 general elections.”
