The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano state, Senator Mas’ud El-Jibrial Doguwa has said the party is expecting a former governor of the state and APC chieftain, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso to join it soon.

Kano state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Sunday, July 1, described his predecessor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, representing Kano central, as irrelevant in his senatorial ward and unproductive in the senate.

A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa, Alhaji Ishaq Hadejia has confirmed that the immediate past governor of Kano state, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is still a card carrying member of the party.

The senator Adamawa Central district, Abdul-Azeez Nyako, has revealed that he and others including his father, former governor Murtala Nyako, are set to quit the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) due to marginalisation.

Rabiu Kwankwaso, senator representing Kano central, says the alleged underage voting in the state’s recently conducted local government polls could only have happened because only one party contested the election.

Ahead of the controversial visit to Kano by Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso on Tuesday January 30, the Presidency on Monday summoned Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and the senator to avert breakdown of law and order in Kano State.

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso who spoke through the former secretary to the Kano state government, Dr Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi, at a press conference in the state, insisted that the planned visit would go ahead as scheduled.

The Kano state police command has warned former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to shelve his planned visit to Kano over rising tension in the state. Kwankwaso was scheduled to visit the state on January 30 for a political rally.

Two factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano led by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso respectively, are set to hold parallel rallies in the state. The situation is creating tension.
