Kano Assembly Majority Leader Addresses Speculations Of Tension Between Governor Yusuf And Former Governor Kwankwaso

Kano Assembly Majority Leader Addresses Speculations Of Tension Between Governor Yusuf And Former Governor Kwankwaso The Majority Leader of the Kano State House of Assembly, Hon. Husseini Dala, has firmly dismissed claims of a conflict between Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the influential Kwankwasiyya Movement. Speaking to journalists at the State Assembly complex on Monday, Dala described the alleged rift as nothing more than a fabrication by what he called “enemies of progress” outside Kano State.

The Kwankwasiyya Movement, a powerful faction within the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), played a critical role in Governor Yusuf’s political journey. Dala emphasized that Yusuf’s bond with Kwankwaso is akin to a “father-son” relationship, rooted in a shared commitment to Kano State’s progress.

Dala further clarified that the relationship between the Assembly and the governor remains strong, asserting that rumors of tension were unfounded. “Some people, funded from far away in Abuja, aim to create discord in Kano by undermining the harmonious relationship between the legislative arm and the governor, as well as the Kwankwasiyya leader,” he said. “But by the grace of God, they will be ashamed of their efforts, and they will fail.”

Addressing recent calls for Governor Yusuf to assert his independence from Kwankwaso’s influence, Dala maintained that the governor is a self-governing leader, bound by his oath of office. He noted that those pushing for division are trying to spark a crisis in Kano but assured that both the governor and Assembly members remain fully loyal to the NNPP and Kwankwaso’s leadership.
