Supreme Court Victory: Kwankwaso Finally Opens Up On Plan To Join APC With Kano Gov

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the last general elections has reacted to reports that he might join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

This came after the Supreme Court victory of his political godson and Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf. There are speculations that Kwnakwaso reached an agreement with President Bola Tinubu to get victory for Yusuf, and in return, they would defect to the APC.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, Kwankwaso denied having any such deal with Tinubu. He also dismissed that he would join the APC. “There is no problem. They have their party; we have our own. We will work together where necessary. On the issue of joining the government, only time can tell.”

Kwankwaso also said he would not lord it over the Kano State governor, noting that he could only advise him.

He said, “Kabir Yusuf is the governor. We can only advise. Even if he were a biological son, I can’t rule over him. I have given him pieces of advice even before the government came in. There are thousands of people like me. I can’t do it alone. When a governor or a president does well, the credit goes to him. If he does otherwise, the blame is directed at him.

“People misunderstand this. When I was a governor, I would pick suggestions kept by people even in dustbins. The same is on radio stations and newspapers. For everything has an appointed time. Those who succeed should be allowed to prove their worth.

“There were errors with the previous judgment, but the Supreme Court undid what the lower courts did. If it were in other climes, those who delivered the judgments in the lower courts would quit their jobs.”
