The Governor of Kano state, Abba Yusuf has claimed that the ongoing legal battles seeking to remove him from power, is a bid to undermine the political legacy of his mentor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Yusuf stated this during a stakeholders meeting of the Kwankwasiyya movement and other party supporters in Kano.
He said, “All his political travails including his losses at the Elections Petition Tribunal and the Court of Appeal are targeted attacks against his mentor and political godfather, Eng. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.”
The meeting, which was held at the instance of Kwankwaso, also had in attendance the Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam, Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Ismail Falgore; federal lawmaker for Kiru/Bebeji constituency, Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, leaders of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Kano State cabinet members and top government officials.
“We are going to continue working under his (Kwankwaso) guidance and leadership to do the needful, God willing,” Yusuf declared, emphasising his unwavering loyalty to his political mentor.
The governor expressed his deep gratitude to Kwankwaso, acknowledging his pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of Kano.
“Even if the world says they are not going to give us anything because of his (Kwankwaso) vision, we are not going to turn our back on him and his vision,” he asserted.
