Kano Governor Stands Firm: Rejecting Calls to Betray Kwankwaso
The Governor of Kano State has strongly responded to critics and political opponents who have urged him to betray his mentor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and stand on his own as a leader.
He referred to the slogan “Stand on your own” as the greatest insult he has faced since assuming office, emphasizing his loyalty to Kwankwaso, who had played a significant role in his political career.
The governor’s statement comes amid growing pressure from some factions within the political scene, urging him to distance himself from Kwankwaso’s political influence.
However, the governor reiterated his commitment to his principles and his political mentor, stressing that his leadership was rooted in loyalty, integrity, and dedication to the people of Kano.
His comments have sparked reactions from both his supporters, who view his stance as one of loyalty, and critics, who see it as an indication of his unwillingness to chart an independent political course.
The situation highlights the ongoing power dynamics within Kano politics, where personal loyalty often plays a pivotal role in shaping political allegiances.
