Africa-Press – Nigeria. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has warned that betraying the Kwankwasiyya movement would lead to political failure in Kano State.
Citing historical examples, Kwankwaso said since 1999, individuals have lost political influence after leaving the movement.
Kwankwaso’s statement comes amid rumors that Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, might leave the NNPP for the APC.
In a video message shared widely online, Kwankwaso spoke directly to members of the Kwankwasiyya movement, urging them to remain loyal.
According to him, some former members enjoyed brief periods of progress after leaving the group, whether for a short time or even several years, but eventually lost their influence.
He pointed out that certain politicians in Kano once held power for nearly a decade but have since disappeared from the political scene.
Kwankwaso encouraged people to learn from past examples rather than repeating the same mistakes themselves, noting that personal experience can be a very costly teacher.
According to Kwankwaso: “Some of you have decided to cross the line to go to the other side, if you know them, advise them that nobody in this country or elsewhere has ever succeeded with betrayal, it doesn’t work that way.
“And if you are in doubt, look at our history even those from 1999 till date, all those who betrayed this group, they have never succeeded and I don’t know why.
“They may succeed temporarily on day one, two, three; year one, two. Some in this state were looking like they were succeeding for 10 years, where are they now? They are flat on the floor.”
