Former presidential candidate and NNPP leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared January 23 as a “Day of Betrayal” following the defection of Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kwankwaso made the announcement on Friday while addressing supporters in Kano, shortly after Governor Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP. He described the date as a permanent reminder of what he termed a breach of trust and political betrayal.
“Today, as the leader of this Movement, I declare the 23rd of January as Betrayal Day,” Kwankwaso said.
“We believe this day should be permanently recorded in history to ensure global awareness of betrayal and the breaking of trust.”
He added that he had personally urged Governor Yusuf to remain in the opposition party, cautioning that the mandate of the people of Kano should not be handed over to political rivals.
Governor Yusuf’s defection has intensified political tensions in Kano and sparked strong reactions among NNPP supporters across the state.
