Tension In The Ranks: Jega Warns Kwankwaso To Stay Alert Over NDC Power Moves

Jega made the statement on Monday during an appearance on ARISE Television’s Prime Time programme.

According to him, a politician of Kwankwaso’s stature, especially one with strong influence in a politically strategic and volatile state like Kano, would naturally be cautious about the political implications of such a decision.

“You had a very interesting interview with him and touched on several key issues shaping national politics today. He must be looking over his shoulders,” Jega said.

He noted that Kwankwaso is widely perceived as a bold, energetic, and tough political figure, but appeared unusually calm and reflective during the interview.

Jega also raised questions about whether young supporters and social media followers would align with the political direction being proposed.

“As he repeatedly mentioned the youth and social media, the question is whether they are willing to move with him. There is little value in forging ahead if your followers are unwilling to follow,” he added.

Despite the concerns, Jega maintained that Kwankwaso possesses a strong political structure and likely consulted extensively before making his decision. He suggested that the former governor may have received assurances that the majority of his supporters would back the move.

Jega concluded by hinting that the political developments could signal momentum towards a possible Obi-Kwankwaso presidential ticket.
