Kwankwaso Critiques Current Governors' Power Dynamics

Rabiu Kwankwaso, serving as the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), expressed his views during an interview on Arise Television on a Tuesday. He asserted that the current governors, operating under President Bola Tinubu's administration, are not as powerful as their predecessors were in 1999.

Kwankwaso criticized the current governors for their governance style, claiming they often disregard advice after entering office, believing they have defeated all opposition. He remarked, “Governors are not in charge.

Today’s governors are not as powerful as governors were in 1999.” He further highlighted that these governors tend to spend public funds inappropriately, often favoring family and friends, which leads to significant issues at the end of their terms.
