Tension in Kano as Gov Yusuf Sends Warning to Kwankwaso
Kano governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has sent a wave of warning to his estranged political godfather, Rabiu Kwankwaso, over what he described as "frequent attacks" against him, stating that his silence should not be misquoted as fear.
The governor gave the warning while addressing supporters in Kano, where he affirmed Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila as the senatorial candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for Kano South.

According to Daily Trust, the governor threatened to respond to the former governor of the north-west state if he is pushed to the wall. The event was held in the Rano area of Kano on Monday, May 18.
This will be the first time Governor Yusuf will be tackling the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement in a direct confrontational tone since they both left the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for their new party. His statement reads in part:
“For us, Kano peace is our priority, but if we are pushed to the wall, we will open our mouths and talk. Silence is not a sign of fear."
