Kwankwaso accuses Tinubu of creating new ‘Boko Haram’

Rabi’u Kwankwaso, the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has alleged that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is on the verge of cultivating a new form of Boko Haram insurgents in Northern Nigeria.

Kwankwaso was reacting to the ongoing situation in Kano, where federal security agencies are said to be backing the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.

At a ceremony marking the commencement of an 82-kilometer rural road project in his hometown of Madobi, Kwankwaso asserted that the people of Kano will oppose any efforts to undermine the state’s established authority.

“We have significant support because people believe in us. We are for the people, and the NNPP administration is committed to serving them wherever they have voted for us,” Kwankwaso stated.

He continued, emphasizing the political resolve of his supporters: “We will not sit idly by and watch adversaries destroy the peace and unity of our beloved state. We will do everything in our power to ensure the governor’s success. I am pleased that he remains focused and undistracted.”

Kwankwaso also accused certain individuals from Kano, whom he described as state enemies suffering from “mental illness,” of advising the Federal Government to impose a State of Emergency in Kano. He labeled this suggestion as sheer madness and vowed that the peace-loving citizens of Kano would resist such measures.

Speaking on 2027 elections, Kwankwaso warned of politicians with disruptive agendas but affirmed his readiness to fight against any form of political victimization. “We are not afraid of losing power. Whether in government or out, we will continue to pursue what is best for us with determination,” he declared.

Kwankwaso further criticized the Federal Government for allegedly heeding advice from unpatriotic Kano politicians, predicting that this would lead to its downfall.

He reiterated that the people of Kano would not tolerate any attempts to undermine the governor’s constitutional duties.

“We are open to dialogue, truce, and reconciliation, but we will not accept intimidation or political harassment. We are seasoned politicians and know how to defend ourselves against any threats,” Kwankwaso concluded with a stern warning
