Kwankwaso Hails Supporters’ Loyalty, Patience Amid Political Tensions

Former Kano State Governor and national leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed profound gratitude to his supporters for their loyalty and patience amid ongoing political uncertainties in the state.

In a statement, Kwankwaso praised the unwavering commitment of his followers, describing their dedication as the foundation of the movement’s future. He emphasized that their perseverance during challenging times underscores the strength and resilience of the Kwankwasiyya Movement. Your unwavering dedication to the ideals of service, integrity, and people‑centered progress, together with your remarkable patience amid every challenge, is the foundation upon which the promising future of our movement is being built,” Kwankwaso said. The former governor’s message comes amid rising political tensions within the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), particularly speculation about possible defections involving Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Reports suggest that internal disagreements have created divisions, with some party members remaining loyal to Kwankwaso, while others align with the governor. Kwankwaso has maintained a cautious stance, stating that any consideration of joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) would depend on written assurances to safeguard the interests of his supporters and ensure the stability of Kano’s political structure. Political analysts note that Kwankwaso’s statement is both a gesture of gratitude and a strategic move to reaffirm his influence and unify his base ahead of the 2027 general elections. The former governor continues to stress service-oriented leadership and policies that prioritize youth empowerment and community development. As the political landscape in Kano remains fluid, Kwankwaso’s message signals his ongoing commitment to his supporters and his central role in shaping the future of the state’s politics.
