Anyone Working Against Me Will Regret It – Kwankwaso Vows
With combatants for the February 25 presidential polls criss crossing various Nigerian cities for votes, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Standard bearer, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has vowed that regrets await anyone who goes against him in Kano State during the next month’s general election.
Senator Kwankwaso, who spoke against the backdrop recent comments attributed to Governor Abdulahi Umar Ganduje that Kano is set for history to repeat itself, said; “Anybody who work against NNPP or Kwankwaso in 2023, one day, he will regret it, that he made a mistake”.
Reports recently quoted Governor Ganduje as telling party supporters that Kano will repeat the events of annulled 1993 presidential election where the people voted massively for late Chief MKO Abiola, a southern candidate, while rejecting late Alhaji Bashir Tofa, an indigene of the state.
Expectedly, political commentators have imputed the remarks as a veiled reference that the Kano State voting populace will dump their own son, Senator Kwankwaso for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu come February polls
However, on his preparedness for the task ahead, Senator Kwankwaso said; “I had a rally not long ago, which was one of the best rallies. I had one in Wudil, the southern senatorial district. I had one in Bichi, northern senatorial district.
“I opened my office in Kano Central and had one of the best rallies because, you can’t compare it with the ones by some of the candidates who had crowds that came to Kano from neighbouring states and so on.
“Now, you see, I don’t want to talk about that man. I don’t know whether he said it or not. But the reality is that, anybody who work against NNPP or Kwankwaso in 2023, one day, he will regret it, that he made a mistake.
“Anybody who knows me, who knows my antecedents, believes that if I win this presidential election, Kano will have maximum benefit, of course northern Nigeria will benefit and of course the country.
“So, I am surprised if you go and say I should hold a rally. Rally, I have done many rallies in Kano. In just recent months, January and December in Kano, in all the three senatorial districts. So, what is the problem about holding rally in Kano?”
