Kwankwaso to Attend Eid Prayers Amid Political Tensions

Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso is set to observe Eid el-Fitr prayers on Miller Road in Kano on Friday at 8:00 AM. This announcement was made by former Commissioner for Science and Technology, Dr.

Yusuf Mata, via his verified Facebook account. The Eid prayers will be attended alongside other leaders, emphasizing unity among Kwankwasiyya loyalists amid growing political tensions in the state.

The tensions have escalated following Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's recent defection to the New Nigeria Peoples Party, which has led to the resignation of five commissioners from his administration, reaffirming their loyalty to the Kwankwasiyya Movement. The evolving political dynamics in Kano are marked by a split among key actors, with Kwankwaso's planned attendance at the Eid prayers serving as a symbol of solidarity among his supporters during this period of political realignment.
