Breaking: Former Deputy Governor says Kwankwaso Is NOT The Founder Of Kwankwasiyya 🤯🔥 #PoliticsBuzz #Kwankwasiyya

A former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Hafizu Abubakar, has asserted that former presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso is not the founder of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.

He made the claim while addressing an event at the Kano Government House, where 600 motorcycles were distributed to social media influencers.

Abubakar revealed that the Movement was actually conceived by him and five others to support Kwankwaso’s first administration in overcoming challenges within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He further clarified that both the red cap dress code and the name of the Movement were not originally Kwankwaso’s ideas. According to Abubakar, he personally suggested the name, while the red cap symbol was adopted during a political activity in Gwale LGA years ago.

Reflecting on the origins of Kwankwasiyya, Abubakar explained that the founders preferred creating a strong Movement to address political challenges within the PDP rather than establishing a new party.

However, he expressed frustration that the Movement’s history has been “hijacked” and misrepresented, comparing it to builders who pooled resources to construct a house, invited someone to live in it, and were then falsely accused of betrayal and pushed out.
