Kano Governor claims plot to remove him targeted at Kwankwaso’s vision
In a defiant address to the Kwankwasiyya Movement in Kano, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has asserted that the ongoing legal battles surrounding his tenure are not merely personal attacks, but rather attempts to undermine the political legacy of his mentor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Yusuf’s impassioned speech marked his first public appearance since the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the Election Petition Tribunal’s ruling, effectively removing him from office.
Despite the setback, Yusuf remained steadfast in his commitment to Kwankwaso’s vision for Kano’s development.
“We are going to continue working under his (Kwankwaso) guidance and leadership to do the needful, God willing,” Yusuf declared, emphasizing 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.
In a message to his supporters, Yusuf urged them to remain steadfast and avoid engaging in divisive rhetoric. “We must not exchange bitter words with anyone but to channel our energy to motivating Kano people,” he advised.
Despite the recent political turmoil, Yusuf reaffirmed his commitment to the people of Kano, pledging to continue the people-centered projects he has initiated, including initiatives focused on women and children’s welfare, as well as pension and gratuity settlements.
