The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has debunked report published by the media that he has endorsed defection of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to All Progressives Congress.
This is contained in a statement released on Wednesday night by Saifullahi Hassan, Media Aide to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a copy of which was made available to The Punch on Wednesday night.

“The attention of the public has been drawn to a misleading report published by Premium Times, claiming that our revered national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has endorsed or supported the alleged defection of the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to the All Progressives Congress.

“We wish to state unequivocally that this report is false, misleading, and entirely without factual basis,” the statement said.
According to the statement, Senator Kwankwaso remains fully committed to the ideals, vision, and principles of the party. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf was elected Governor of Kano State on the platform of the NNPP and remains a member of the party, with an obligation to uphold the mandate freely given to him by the people.
“At no time did Senator Kwankwaso endorse, support, or express approval of any alleged move by Governor Yusuf to the APC. Any report suggesting otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of facts and should be treated with utmost skepticism,” Hassan added.
The statement therefore urged members of the public, party supporters, and the media to disregard this misinformation and rely only on verified and credible sources for accurate information.
