Former Kano State Governor, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has admitted that the opposition in Kano distracted the state government for one.
The leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement confirmed this on Saturday during an occasion set aside for the declaration of a state of emergency on education in Kano State.
Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general elections, said despite the distraction, Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf’s footprints were conspicuous across the state.

He said, “Let me start by congratulating him on this historic day, the day the governor is declaring a state of emergency on education.
“For those who are aware that the governor has been working from day one, you can see his footprints everywhere across the state, despite the fact that the governor was distracted for about one year.
“Immediately after the election, enemies of the state took him to court—the tribunal, the appeal court, and the Supreme Court.
We have seen what happened even when they knew that there was no need to go to any court or tribunal. Everybody knew that he won his election.

“Even the enemies were saying that they wanted to take it by force because they believe they have a government.
Despite all that, the governor has been working, and obstacles after obstacles, we don’t know what is happening or what has happened in this state, but the governor is moving.
“In fact, that reminds me of our situation during my second term, when two months after my swearing in as governor, we had Boko Haram attacks in mosques, attacks in markets, police stations, schools, and everywhere we were focused and ensured that we were not distracted.”
