By Aminu Garko/Kano
The Chairman of the Kano state Chapter of the Western Nigeria Political Forum, Alhaji Abdulsalam Abdulateef, on Saturday, declared that those behind the purported expulsion of Senator Rabi’ u Musa Kwankwaso from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) are already afraid of his great chances of emerging Nigeria’s president in 2027.
According to him, fifth columnists within the NNPP has become ready tools in the hands of the opposition to destroy the party, all in their efforts to wane the political stamina of Kwankwaso.
He spoke to newsmen after a special prayer organized by the Forum for development of Kano and Nigeria.
Though he refused to mention names, Algaji Abdulateef said, “hese people’ were in government from 2015 to 2023 but all they did was selling Government lands, destroying the legacies of Kwankwaso which he built from 2011 to 2015; and distorting the original plans of Kano by building rampantly on any available space.”
Abdussalam who denied that Kwankwaso was defecting out of the NNPP, hinted that, “even the group that claims to have suspended him are not party members but a minor group sponsored by faceless persons to cause havoc in NNPP.”
“Within eight months Kwankwaso joined the NNPP, he literally revived the party and made it a winning party with a whole state being taken by them, with Senators, House of Representatives members and State Assembly members.
“That is why they are jittery of what he can do to them in 2027. They knew that no Political Power can stop him, that is why they want to distract his attention now so that he will be busy settling intra wrangling of the party.”
Alhaji Abdulateef who is also an NNPP stalwart, commended Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for upholding the principles and strategies of Kwankwassiyya ideals, which he noted, have started changing the concept of good governance in Kano.
“Today in the last 100 days of Governor Abba, we have seen true government in action with hospitals being attended to, while street lights have fully revived lighting the entire streets of Kano, while cases of phone snatching that disturbed the city is fast disappearing.”
He added that, “just in the last 100 days, over 1000 students, both those going for foreign scholarship are being sponsored by the Government to further their education, while schools that were sold by the previous government have been revived.”
