Tinubu Jittery Over Kwankwaso's ADC Defection, Says Yakasai
Salihu Yakasai, who served as a former aide to ex-Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, expressed concerns regarding the political implications of Rabiu Kwankwaso's defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In an interview with Trust TV, Yakasai asserted that even President Bola Tinubu is feeling jittery about this development.
He indicated that Kwankwaso's move is not merely a future concern but is already causing evident disruptions among political actors in Kano State. Yakasai highlighted that recent political meetings, including one involving Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and various political groups, suggest a lack of confidence in the ruling party's ability to manage the situation effectively.
He characterized the recent meetings as attempts at damage control, indicating that the political landscape is becoming increasingly unsettled due to Kwankwaso's actions.
