The national leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, has condemned the defection of some top members of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano to the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing them of turning their backs on the ideals and loyalty of the movement.
He made this known while addressing a gathering of supporters from Takai Local Government Area who refused to join the APC at his Miller Road residence in Kano on Friday.
The former governor’s comments follow the defection of Senator Abdulrahman Kawu, representing Kano South Senatorial District, along with several federal lawmakers from the state, to the APC.
He said, “Kano South is a lesson. Voters rejected spaghetti, N200 and Atamfa (wrappers) and were patient to vote for the NNPP.
“But those who won the election among us decided to abandon the masses and join those who do not have the masses at heart but are only after what they will get for themselves and their families.
“There is no worse political sin than leaving the party that gave you the opportunity and support but later you abandoned the party. This is the highest level of betrayal.”
The former governor commended the returning members for having the courage to retrace their steps, describing their decision as a reaffirmation of loyalty to the movement. He also warned that those who abandoned the Kwankwasiyya cause would come to regret their actions in due time.
