I’ve no issue with Kwankwaso, says Kano gov.

Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has declared that he has no issues with his political mentor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Governor Yusuf made this assertion while speaking with newsmen, addressing speculations and rumours of discord with Alhaji Kwankwaso.
According to him, his relationship with the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) remained strong and respectful, saying it dated over 40 years.

Recall that it was alleged that Kwankwaso dictates policy decisions for governor Yusuf, thereby exerting excessive influence over his administration.

A House of Representatives member representing Dala Federal Constituency, Hon. Aliyu Sani Madakin-Gini, who fell out with Kwankwaso recently, had alleged that Governor Yusuf’s rift with Kwankwaso stemmed from controversies over a drugs contract and a state-funded scholarship scheme.
While reacting, the governor, who debunked the allegations, stressed his autonomy. He underscored his gratitude and loyalty to Kwankwaso, adding that there was no truth in the rumours of a misunderstanding between them.
According to Governor Yusuf, “In my 40 years of knowing him, tell me, who among politicians has stayed with someone this long and still maintained harmony? When he was governor, I served as his personal assistant, always by his side. In all these years, we have never had a rift. To now suggest that I am somehow chained by Kwankwaso is simply unfair”.
