Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has declared that he is ready to lose his governorship position rather than abandon the guidance of his political godfather Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Governor Yusuf attributed his travails to the unnecessary transfer of aggression on him by some highly placed politicians, who moved against the Kwankwaso.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting of the Kwankwasiyya Movement in Kano, Governor Yusuf, attributed his losses at both the Election Petition Tribunal and Court of Appeal, as part of a targeted attack on Kwankwaso.
He said: “Even if the world would say they are not going to give us anything because of his (Kwankwaso) vision, we are not going to turn our back on him and his vision.”
“But we must appreciate him (Kwankwaso) and be immensely grateful to him and we have to tell him that we are proud of him.”
Yusuf then urged the party leaders not to lose hope and urged them not to exchange bitter words with anyone but to channel their energy to motivating the Kano people.
He stressed that whoever thinks he has the power to victimise fellow human beings and decide to cause untold hardship against innocent citizens, must realise that no condition is permanent in life, and there are days when all created human beings must be answerable to our deeds.
The Governor promised to continue with all the people-cantered Projects he has started, including assisting women and children and the settlement of pensions and gratuity in the state.
