The National Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Thursday, insisted that Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and former Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje are his political sons.
“Not even you, many people today in Kano Politics are my godson’s, including Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje his is my Son in Politics, so stop bragging and political Caricature”.
Kwankwaso who made the remark at his Kano Miller Road residence while addressing elite group of Kwankwasiyya movement, who paid a Sallah homage, described as an insult Governor Yusuf Political outbursts”
The NDC National Leader’s remarks is believed to be connected to recent reactions from Governor Yusuf who query his estranged godfather saying “how can a 69 year old referred to 63 years old as his boy”
It was not clear why Kwankwaso decided to rope in Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who has remained largely anonymous since the disagreement between him and Yusuf in his latest remarks.
Kwankwaso who was dresssed in his traditional white flowing gown with a red cap to match, said “i was made to understand that few don’t wanted to be referred to as my boy”, as the packed conference exploded in thunderous laughter.
Sounding firm, and resolute, the NDC frontliner told the gathering in Hausa thus: “If it is not out of disrespect, will Abba Kabir Yusuf say he is not my political son? If it is not out of disrespect, will Abdullahi Umar Ganduje say he is not my political son?”
The entire hall clapped in affirmation to Kwankwaso’s claim to political mentorship of the two prominent Kano political figures in recent history
