Kwankwaso Open to Forgiving Governor Yusuf Amid Rift
In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, Rabiu Kwankwaso, a prominent political figure and running mate to Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), stated that he can forgive Abba Yusuf, the current governor who won the 2023 election under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) before defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This defection has led to a strained relationship between Kwankwaso and Yusuf, who had served as Kwankwaso's aide for 40 years.
Kwankwaso clarified that he did not abandon Yusuf or encourage his party switch, expressing that he still holds affection for him. He also mentioned his forgiving nature, citing his reconciliation with former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje despite past conflicts.
Kwankwaso emphasized the importance of patience and compassion in politics, stating that he does not expect everyone to share his views or approach.
