Kwankwasiyya Movement Defends Obi and Kwankwaso's Support

The Kwankwasiyya Movement, through its spokesperson Hon. Habib Mailemo, has responded to Atiku Abubakar's assertions regarding his electoral strength, stating that only Peter Obi and Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso enjoy organic support across Nigeria. The movement argues that their support is not based on political inducement but rather on a proven track record and alignment with the people's beliefs.

Mailemo emphasized that Kwankwaso's involvement in coalition talks is driven by a singular goal to rescue Nigeria. He noted that while Atiku has a long-standing presence in Nigerian politics, his electoral strength often relies on party machinery rather than individual appeal.

The Kwankwasiyya Movement contrasts this with the independent momentum built by Obi and Kwankwaso, who have become synonymous with popular support. The discussion comes amid concerns about the need for unity within the opposition to effectively challenge the current government, particularly in light of Atiku's comments on the political dynamics in Kano, where Kwankwaso's influence is significant.
